Abstract
In this paper a new precise definition of the forward and reverse reaction rates of complex reaction processes is proposed. To apply the definition to reaction systems a general branching law, which yields the recursion formula on the forward and reverse reaction rates, is derived and general rate expressions are presented for complex reaction systems in the steady state. Based on these newly defined reaction rates, the thermodynamic relation between reaction rates and the affinity holds in chemical reaction processes of any order.
