A similar situation is very common in nuclear chemistry where a nuclide decays to a daughter, which is also radioactive and undergoes decay. For simplicity, only the case of first-order reactions will be treated here. The rate of disappearance of A can be written as B rH 80 100 arallel first-order reactions, 3 to take place in steps. 2 esp is not the final product. A ry where a nuclide decays ‘goes decay. For simplicity, here. (2.52) (2.53) [KiNETCs oF Moré COMPLEX SYSTEMS 41 where the term k [A] represents the formation of B from A, and the term —K,[B] rep- resents the reaction of B to form C. The rate of formation of C can be expressed as ag) kB) 54) If the stoichiometry as shown in Eq, (251) is followed, itis obvious that [Al+1B]+(C]=1AL Eq, (252) can be integrated immediately to give [Al=[Alexpk) Substituting for [A] in Eq, (253) gives a) SP oi LALexp-H,0- KIB) which can be written as I 4 (8)-kLALepeko (258) ‘This is a linear differential equation with constant coefficients.
