Abstract

The paper considers a mathematically correct approach to define the rate-determining steps, rate-determining parameters as well as the apparent activation energy for steady occurrence of stepwise reactions with a known reaction scheme. Examples of the application of the suggested approach to analysis of simple stepwise reactions linear in respect to intermediates are presented.
