Thus, Fig. 2.10 represents the Mathcad document meant for solving the ODE system using by the operator method. The system describes kinetics of the first-order consecutive reaction with the reversible second step... 

With these kinetic data and a knowledge of the reactor configuration, the development of a computer simulation model of the esterification reaction is iavaluable for optimising esterification reaction operation (25—28). However, all esterification reactions do not necessarily permit straightforward mathematical treatment. In a study of the esterification of 2,3-butanediol and acetic acid usiag sulfuric acid catalyst, it was found that the reaction occurs through two pairs of consecutive reversible reactions of approximately equal speeds. These reactions do not conform to any simple first-, second-, or third-order equation, even ia the early stages (29). 

Reactions can be classified according to their order of reaction the breakdown of drugs in the majority of preparations in which the dmg is dissolved in aqueous solution follows first-order or pseudo first-order kinetics. There are, however, many cases of dmgs in which decomposition occurs simultaneously by two or more pathways (parallel reactions), or involves a sequence of decomposition steps (consecutive reactions) or a reversible reaction. 

A higher time resolution of 28 ms was used in a rapid-scan time-resolved SEIRA study of adsorption kinetics of uracil on a quasi-Au(lll) electrode surface [15]. Since the adsorption/desorption of uracil is reversible, the S/N of the spectra were enhanced by averaging 64 consecutive repetitions. This study showed that the kinetics is represented by the first-order rate equation, and that the rate constants evaluated from the time-resolved SEIRAS are much smaller than those for overall transition determined by chronoamperometry. The result suggests that the processes observed by the two measurements are not the same. 

The reaction sequence depicted in Scheme 4.4 fits both observations (second-order and saturation-type kinetics) as is evident from the following. From a kinetic viewpoint this sequence is a simple consecutive reaction with a reversible first step once the enzyme is either reduced or oxidized and the product is released the enzyme is in a different form. Due to the absence of the second substrate it cannot re-launch into the catalytic cycle. In other words this is not a catalytic reaction and the enzyme responds as a normal reactant ... 

Europium(ii).—Reductions of monosubstituted iron(in) complexes have been investigated in acidic solutions, the reaction rates being in the order F > Cl > Br in contrast to the reverse order shown by chromium(ii). Indirect evidence suggests that reactions are inner sphere, but no ligand transfer is observed owing to the greater lability of the Eu" ion. The reactions with pentammineruthenium(ra) carboxylato-complexes are almost identical to the corresponding vanadium(ii) reductions. The reaction kinetics may be explained by consecutive second- and first-order reactions ... 

The first serious challenge to the single-step mechanism for the reaction for the nitroalkanes in water appeared in 2001 for the reaction of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-ethane (NNPEh) with sodium hydroxide in water/acetonitrile (50 50 vol. %). The kinetics of the reaction (Scheme 1.16) were studied under pseudo-first-order conditions using stopped-flow spectrophotometry and the data were analyzed as IRC-time profiles. Rate constants and KIE were obtained by fitting experimental to calculated data for the reversible consecutive mechanism (Scheme 1.17) which is the simplest bimolecular mechanism. The theoretical data were obtained using the integrated rate law for that mechanism ignoring B as appropriate for pseudo-first-order conditions.
