38. To be accurate, all equilibria 2 is involved in would have to be considered, but in agreement with the experimental results it can be assumed that these quickly adjust and also that 2 is a major compound in solution. Moreover, neither reaction ii nor the decomposition processes were considered, but this should be appropriate for the first periods of the reactions.
