Abstract

The time derivative of mean value of the state position indicator and the probability density of the first passage times for the state of exact equilibrium, both in the form of a function approximating the δ-distribution, characterize the establishment of macroscopic chemical equilibrium. The time parameter of this function has the meaning of the time required for chemical equilibrium to be established.

Abstract

Временная производная средней величины индикатора позиции состояния и вероятная плотность времён первого перехода для состояния точного равновесия, обе в форме функций, приближающихся к δ-распределению, характеризуют установление макроскопического химического равновесия. Временный параметр зтой функции означает время, необходимое для установления химического равновесия.
