Differential rate expressions can be written for eaoh component of

the process. From eq. 3.2.1:

These form a system of related equations. Likewise, from eq. S.2.2

Secondly, all exponents expressing reaction orders can be assumed to be

equal to one. There is no physioal reason why more than one nuoleus
