(a) Using the Law of Mass Action to write a system of differential equations for the
concentrations of X and Y in (1).
(b) Non-dimensionalise the equations from part (a) so that they become
du
= 1-
dt
(b + 1)и + au?v,
(2)
dv
= bu – au'v,
dt
where u and v correspond to a =
[X] and y = [Y], t = k4t and determine the
constants a and b.
