By that last phrase we do not wish to imply that we aim to producenovelists or poets, though those too are worthy endeavors; rather, we intend to avoid the tragedyof talent embedded in the following statement by George Heilmeier, corporate executive atBellcore: Communication skills are extremely important. Unfortunately, both written and oral skills are often ignored in engineering schools, so today we have many engineers with excellent ideas and a strong case to make, but they don’t know how to make that case. If you can’t make the case, no matter how good the

Missen University of Guelph/University of Toronto1 IntroductionChemical reaction stoichiometry (CRS) is a branch of chemical stoichiometry dealing withthe constraints, in the form of chemical equations, placed on changes in the composition ofa closed reacting system by the requirement for conservation of the amount of each atomicspecies. This simple conservation concept has far-reaching consequences for all of chemistryand chemical engineering, including reaction kinetics and
