Equation (12.17) shows the stoichiometric proportions of the reactants and products. It shows that
1 mol CO and 1/2 mol O
2
could combine to form 1 mol CO
2
. If the reaction proceeded to completion,
no CO or O
2
would be left at the final condition.
This is the stoichiometric equation of the reaction and the amounts of substance in the equation
give the stoichiometric coefficients.
The general equation for a chemical reaction is

D (12.18)
where y is a stoichiometric coefficient and A, B, C and D are the substances involved in the reaction.
Applying Eqn (12.18) to the CO þ
