Abstract
The law of mass action has been extended to include imperfect mixing a nd dead-zone effects in nonlinear chemical systems. It is concluded th at if there is more concentration difference between two homogeneous l ayers in an incompletely mixed inhomogeneous solution obeying nonlinea r kinetic laws, the reaction rate also is increased compared to that c alculated on the basis of average reactant concentrations for homogene ous mixing. The presence of an unmixed dead-zone enhances this effect further.
