✦ Synopsis

Given a reaction mechanism we show how a symbolic computation approach can be used to develop the kinetic equations by identifying the reaction scheme with an equivalent matrix. Our method is also applicable in cases where the stoichiometric matrix approach fails. The specific algorithm that is written applies to schemes where individual reactions are at most ternary, but the way to generalize the procedure is also discussed. By using symbolic computing it is possible to determine general properties of the system. We demonstrate this by showing how to use the matrix to determine the system's conservation laws, which in turn can be used to reduce the number of equations in the system. As another application it is shown how to determine some of the species which have a zero equilibrium state. To illustrate the procedure, example reaction schemes are investigated.
