Rate laws have also been observed that correspond to there being two kinds of surface, one adsorbing reactant A and the other reactant B and with the rate proportional to 5a x 5b- For traditional discussions of Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate laws, see Refs. 240-242. Many catalytic systems involve a series of intermediates, and the simplifying assumption of steady-state equilibrium is usually made. See Boudart and co-workers [243-245] for a contemporary discussion of such complexities.

Complete or very high conversion requires the study of catalyst at very low concentrations. At such conditions, close to equilibrium (Boudart 1968), all reactions behave according to first order kinetics. Study at very low concentrations is also helped by the very small heat generation, so these studies can be executed in small tubular reactors, placed in simple muffle furnaces. Such studies were made by Kline et al (1996) at Lafayette College and were evaluated by Berty (1997).

The systematic use of classical catalytic kinetics is always a useful approach in modeling (Boudart 1986). Even if these models do not reflect the true mechanism in the case of structure-sensitive catalysts, they are a formally correct representation of the observed facts. As Boudart sees it in the case of structure-insensitive reactions, it can also be the real thing. 

For a sequenee of reaetion steps two more eoneepts will be used in kinetics, besides the previous rules for single reaetions. One is the steady-state approximation and the seeond is the rate limiting step eoneept. These two are in strict sense incompatible, yet assumption of both causes little error. Both were explained on Figure 6.1.1 Boudart (1968) credits Kenzi Tamaru with the graphical representation of reaction sequences. Here this will be used quantitatively on a logarithmic scale. 

A brief overview of the form for rate equations reveals that temperature and concentration e Tects are strongly interwoven. This is so even if all four basic steps in the rules of Boudart (1968) are obeyed for the elementary steps. The expectations of simple unchanging temperature effects and strict even-numbered gas concentration dependencies of rate are not justified.

Boudart (1972) introduced the assumption of the most abundant surface intermediate (masi). This assumption suggests that the sites occupied by all species except the most abundant surface intermediate is regarded as negligible compared to those filled by the most abundant intermediate and to those which are empty.
