USE OF VECTOR APPROACH FOR STUDYING COMPLEX CHEMICAL PROCESSES ON THE EXAMPLE OF BLACK POWDER

The paper demonstrates the possibilities of a vector approach for calculating stoichiometric coefficients of chemical equations using the example of black powder. An approach is proposed for selecting and limiting intermediate interactions between reactants and determining final products. It is shown that even a small number of components can lead to a large number of final and intermediate products. Using real calculations, the relationship between the number of possible chemical equations and the number of reactants is shown. A method is proposed for calculating all possible chemical equations in a reaction system for an arbitrary ratio of components, which allows obtaining all possible chemical reactions, and a method for calculating the chemical composition for a fixed set of reactants, which allows estimating the set of products of possible chemical interactions for a given initial composition
