Abstract
Using several reaction examples with experimentally determined rate equations, traditional mass-action rate equations are shown to be simplified forms of polynomial approximation to a general rate function derived by non-equilibrium thermodynamics for a mixture of fluids with linear transport properties. The mass-action kinetic law is thus proved also on the macroscopic level and limited to this type of fluids.
