Prolegomena to the rational analysis of systems of chemical reactions II. Some addenda

Since the publication of some prolegomena to the rational analysis of systems of chemical reaction has evolved other cognate work has come to light and some earlier statements have been made more precise and comprehensive. This chapter is divided into three sections: (1) it discusses some publications that partially fill some of the undeveloped areas noticed before, (2) it extends the theorem on the uniqueness of equilibrium to a more general case and to establish the conditions for the consistency of the kinetic and equilibrium expressions,, and (3) the conception of a reaction mechanism is to be reformulated in a more general way and the metrical connection between the kinetics of the mechanism and those of the ostensible reactions clarified. The notation of the earlier paper is followed and augmented where necessary—in particular, the range of each affix is carefully specified and the summation convention of tensor analysis is employed.
