Study of Converse Problems in Chemical Kinetics as a Method for the Investigation of the Mechanisms of Complex Reactions

The application of mathematical modelling methods to the determination of the mechanisms of complex chemical reactions is considered. On the basis of the analysis of the present state of the mathematical modelling of chemical kinetic processes, it is shown that the study of converse problems constitutes an extension of the traditional kinetic approach to the construction of models. A classification of the direct and converse problems in chemical kinetics is proposed. It is shown that converse problems are of greatest interest at the present time in the identification of the chemical type of the reaction mechanism.
