A computational procedure is developed for the calculation of the composition at chemical equilibrium of systems of many constituents. The general equations are applied to homogeneous systems and to homogeneous systems which exist in the presence of a single additional pure phase. A brief discussion is given of appropriate numerical methods of computation.
