Robert's Farm of Ideas: 1 -- Error propagation in equilibrium constants

DOI License: CC BY 4.0

This idea in short

When determining equilibrium constants of multi-substrate / multi-product reactions, their ratios may affect the uncertainty of the result.

This is because usually the conversion of one pair is measured. This conversion has usually a constant error, which propagates into errors of different magnitude depending on the ratios of reactants.

Sounds great, but...

You are interested in this topic? But the idea is gibberish and incomplete, or non-sense? Well, you're probably right!

All of this is work in progress -- I would be very happy if you get in touch so we can improve this!

How to Use

You are free to use this idea in whatever way you like. I put this material under CC-BY license, just to make it legally clear, but: "Gedanken sind frei" (ideas are free) -- I don't expect them to be protectable anyway.

About this Farm of Ideas

This "Farm of Ideas" is supposed to store ideas I would like to develop into scientific progress some day, and to store their progression from initial idea being had, over keeping them alive, to growing them into something real and then "harvesting".

If you are faster in developing them, I am happy with you and for the world! :) Just to avoid me having spend time on something you already realized then, I would be grateful for a short letting-me-know email.
