Theory of reversible associative-dissociative diffusion-influenced chemical reaction. I. Geminate reaction

A many-particle, in the general case, inhomogeneous reacting system of independent pairs of reactants, where geminate reversible reaction \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}$A+B\rightleftarrows C$\end{document} A + B ⇄ C takes place, is considered in the framework of the kinetic theory approach. The kinetic equations in the thermodynamic limit are obtained, and important relations between kinetic coefficients characterizing the reaction course are established, as well as the relations between the kinetic dependencies under different initial conditions including the relations that extend the familiar literature results to the case of rather realistic model of the reacting system. Universal long-term kinetic laws of the reaction course are determined.
