The phrase “further remarks” in the title of this short paper is meant to imply that reactions and dimensionless groups are not only purely algebraic concepts, but definite numerical values can also be associated with them; in stoichiometry this evaluation may relate, for example, to the heat of reaction and, in dimensional analysis, to what is called a dimensionless number. On the basis of the evaluation concept, it will be shown that a counterpart of Hess' law in thermochemistry is valid in dimensional analysis.
