Abstract
This chapter discusses the analysis reaction networks. All too frequently, a large number of single reactions takes place in succession or parallel in a reacting system. It may be hard or impossible to isolate any single reaction for separate study and dissection into its elementary steps. Instead, the network of reactions must be analyzed as a whole. This is a problem of considerable difficulty, and every case taxes the ingenuity of the kineticist. In the standard textbooks, it is customary to include analytical solutions of the differential rate equations for a handful of cases, largely of academic interest. The need for analytical solutions has now largely disappeared thanks to the availability of analog and digital computing machines. But the difficulty of extracting meaningful kinetic information remains the same or perhaps has even increased as much more complicated networks are now amenable to numerical analysis.
