The presentations in the prior chapters have been limited to ideal systems, either gases or solutions. We now extend the thermodynamic and stochastic theory to non-ideal systems.

The formulation of the theory requires deterministic equations either of kinetics or transport for non-ideal systems. We shall illustrate the approach with the Bronsted theory of non-ideal reactants and products, which has been used extensively.
