Stoichiometric Number (en)  

Definición

  • Chemical reactions, as macroscopic unit operations, consist of simply a very large number of elementary reactions, where a single molecule reacts with another molecule. As the reacting molecules (or moieties) consist of a definite set of atoms in an integer ratio, the ratio between reactants in a complete reaction is also in integer ratio. A reaction may consume more than one molecule, and the "Stoichiometric Number" counts this number, defined as positive for products (added) and negative for reactants (removed).
