Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss deterministic chemical reactions in the closed and open systems. We attempt to understand the stability of stationary states in both situations using the excess entropy production, which we discuss in Chap. 1. Then we investigate the behavior of the reactions using numerical solutions. We use three examples to illustrate that the deterministic formulations of chemical reactions lead to complex behavior patterns even without potential noise in systems. In open systems, reactions can easily be oscillatory depending on the reaction rate coefficients and initial conditions. However, the existence of nonequilibrium stationary states (NESSs) in dissipative structures is well documented, the analysis presented here is heuristic to show the complexities prior to delving into stochastic situations in next two chapters.
