Abstract
A general kinetic law governing the attainment of a rate constant stea dy state in irreversible reactions in liquid solutions has been deduce d in the case of mixing by free motion in configuration space. Based o n this law, the applicability of the absorbing sphere concept for a qu alitative description of irreversible reactions in liquid solutions ha s been analysed, and results for rate constant long-term asymptotics i n the specific case of diffusion-influenced reactions has been examine d.
