Martin Feinberg studied how the dynamics of these processes can be deduced from the deficiency and other graph theoretic quantities of their namesake networks. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these processes. The Oregonator model describes the time evolution of one of these processes with three coupled differential equations.
ANSWER: chemical reactions [accept chemical reaction network theory or reaction graphs; accept Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction or clock reactions or oscillating chemical reactions]
[10e] Each term in the Oregonator model’s differential equations represents this quantity for an elementary reaction. This quantity equals concentration times a related constant for first-order reactions.
ANSWER: reaction rate [accept rate law or rate equation; reject “rate constant”]
[10m] The temperature-jump technique measures the time a reaction takes to undergo this process to determine the reaction’s kinetics. A perturbed system returns to equilibrium in this process, whose time is measured in NMR.
ANSWER: relaxation [accept relaxation time]
