Summary
Transformation matrices provide a quick, easy, and reliable method for balancing and manipulating chemical reactions in an arbitrary fashion. This chapter shows how the matrices can be applied to balance reactions, calculate equilibrium constants and free-energy changes of reaction, compute equilibrium temperatures, and determine the form of equilibrium equations.
