Study of Successive First-Order Reversible Reactions
Study of Successive First-Order Reversible Reactions
The following successive first-order reactions are considered: .... For simplicity, assume that all forward and backward rate constants are equal to and , respectively. The Demonstration displays the steady state solution for all species as well as the transient behavior only for species such that , for clarity of the plot.
