Table 3. Rate equations describing the four reactions shown in Scheme 2.
x is the amount of the starting material that has reacted to form products after time t and [A]0 is the concentration of species A at time zero. In (D), only the rate equation for the decrease in DQ at constant Q2 concentration is given; an analogous equation is readily derived for Q2.
