ABSTRACT
A theory of kinetics is first of all a theory of the intermediate substances [1,2]. From this point of view any more or less complicated chemical reaction should proceed via the formation and decomposition of intermediate substances state-by-state, that is, via the total combination of elementary reactions. That is why a theory of an intermediate substances divides all reacting substances of a system into a component set https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> A = A i , i = 1 , m ¯ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429087776/fd8345ce-ad1a-43cb-89f8-05462fc52018/content/eq2.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> and a set of an intermediate substances https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> X = X i , i = 1 , n - https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429087776/fd8345ce-ad1a-43cb-89f8-05462fc52018/content/eq3.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> , and all chemical transformations are divided into a final set https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> Q = Q f , f = 1 , q - https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429087776/fd8345ce-ad1a-43cb-89f8-05462fc52018/content/eq4.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> and a set https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> S = S i , i = 1 , s - https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429087776/fd8345ce-ad1a-43cb-89f8-05462fc52018/content/eq5.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> of an elementary chemical reaction representing the final one. In general the term “dementary reaction” (or state) means a chemical transformation between the components of a system and an intermediate substance proceeding via one act, that, is via the formation and the decomposition of one activated complex, assuming the kinetics follow the direct form of the mass action law. The term “final chemical reaction” means a reaction between the components of a system realized via a total combination of elementary reactions.
