Equivalents are convenient ways to provide molar ratios by default, the reagent with the lowest number of
moles is set to 1.0 equivalents (eq). To get the equivalents for another reagents, the number of moles of that
reagent is divided by the number of moles of the reagents whose equivalents were set to 1.0. In this way, the
ratio of equivalents is equal to the molar ratio.
