Why is it that in the Rates of Change of a chemical reaction in Calculus that the following occurs? "for the reaction of the form aA + bB --> cC +dD we have -(1/a)(d[A]/dt) = -(1/b)(d[B]/dt) = (1/c)(d[C]/dt) = (1/d)(d[D]/dt)" I don't understand where the reciprocals of the lowercase a come from. Could someone please explain that portion and possibly in greater detail, the whole idea behind this?
