This Demonstration shows a simulation of the time course of differential rate equations. The ordinate denotes concentration in mmol/L and the abscissa denotes time in seconds. The maximum time of reactions is , and are the association rate constants, is the dissociation rate constant, and are the initial concentrations of reactants and at time . The pie chart shows concentrations at time in percentage terms.
