Abstract

The method to calculate the equilibrium composition of a stepwise attachment of a ligand to a central species is extended to equilibria in a stepwise gas-phase reactions and applied to the alkylation of benzene. For given initial amounts and given total pressure the equilibrium composition for four groups of isomers are evaluated.
