A method is given for the computation of the chemical equilibria attained by adiabatic chemical reactions in similar systems, all with the same volume and mass, as a result of changes in the initial reactant compositions. Changes in equilibrium composition and temperature are directly related to changes in the initial elemental abundances, in the form of a set of simultaneous equations. Since it is not necessary to perform complete calculations for each solution required, the solution of these equations constitutes a saving in computation. The method can be applied to solid‐gas systems. The systems must be ideal or they have to obey an empirical equation of state, wherein covolume is a function of volume only.
