Abstract:
A generalization of the molar-ratio method is proposed, which allows study of relatively weak complexes. The method is based on treatment of the data from a molar-ratio saturation curve. From the mathematical expression derived, the stoichiometry, degree of condensation and stability constant are easily evaluated. Graphical representations of the results can be used advantageously.

Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:
