21. The ratio is all that is needed because the sum does not really matter. The kinetic equations are linear so that if one doubles the amount of starting material the solution is unchanged except that all concentrations double.
22. 2 - 4k↑ k > 0, which means, in agreement with the spirit of RRKM, that the rate k↑ is small.
23. ‡ increases by unity, shows that the energy of the states of the transition state is fairly well defined and hence that the rate of their dissipation is low.

28. This is because such processes represent an average over very many initial conditions such as orientations, impact parameter, rotations, etc.
