- Write the rate of reaction for species $A$ for the biomolecular reaction
$$A + B \rightleftarrows C + D,$$
- Write the equation for the forward rate constant in terms of parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $E_a$.
- Would the reaction $CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$ a global or elementary reaction?
- Write a generic reaction $i$ in compact notation that includes all species $j$ and coefficiencts $\nu^\prime_{i,j}$, $\nu^{\prime\prime}_{i,j}$.
- Write the forward reaction rate in terms of the forward rate constant and all species.
- What is the rate of progress variable physically, in words?
- Write the net reaction rate for species $j$ in terms of the rate of progress variable and stoichiometric coefficients.
- How is a reverse reaction rate constant computed?
- For a reaction $aA + bB \rightleftarrows cC + dD$, write the equation for $K_c$ in terms of $K_{eq}$ and other quantities.
- What is a quasi-steady-state approximation?
- Besides this class, where have you used a quasi-steady-state approximation?
