On concentration distribution of small water vapor complexes within the reactions of chemical kinetics

Small sets of chemical kinetics equations for reactions with the water monomers and dimers are solved. Equilibrium complex concentration distribution as a function of the complex dimension at the number of monomers in a complex up to 10 shows a nonmonotonic form for some values of the total monomer unit number and reaction rates with tetramers and dimers.
