Abstract
As stated in Section III.8, the derivation of kinetic equations for non-equilibrium reactions requires knowledge of microscopic rate constants both for elementary chemical reactions and for relaxation processes. The relaxation rate constants must be allowed for explicitly only for processes occurring at a rate lower than or comparable with the reaction rates, i.e. for relaxations that can be considered to be incomplete in microscopic conversions (see III.8).
