We consider a reaction system

"A" reversibly reacts with "B" through k1 and k-1 rate constant respectively, and "B" gives "C" and "D" through k2 and k3 rate constant respectively through parallel reaction.

a) A is provided by a continuous source, so that its concentration is almost

constant. Using this information and the steady-state assumption derive

expressions for the time-dependency of the concentrations of B, C and D.

b) What is the production rate of C and D in the rapid equilibrium

assumption as a function of the concentration of A?

c) How many thermodynamic variables can be chose freely to describe the

state of this system - if all of the reactants are in one phase and if all of

them are in two phases? Name examples for thermodynamic variables

which could be chosen to vary freely.
