General ⇒ same equation with same number on different page

[anoopmj]

I am writing my thesis and decided to do it in Latex.. procrastination maybe..

I have many chemical reactions to put in it and have to talk about the same reaction in different contexts... instead of just referencing it with a number, I want to write the full reaction... but keep the same original number.

I am using the mhchem package.. but i think it just uses the normal /begin{equation} bit

I was wondering if one can write the full equation on different pages, and have them numbered all the same? I do have many of these... so can't just make a list without numbers

eg:

C + O2 -> CO2..... 1
2H + O -> H2O......2

then on another page

O + O -> O2.......3
C + O2 -> CO2.... 1


Is this possible?
