The chen1ical transfornlation of rnolecules takes place in an endless nun1ber of systen1s. natural and mann1ade. The rate and effectiveness of these transforn1ations are influenced by the availability of the reactants. As transformation occurs, the original concentration of the reactants is depleted and, nearly always, is replenished hy some process of diffusion. The net attainable speed of the reaction thus depends on the relative con1petition of reactivity and of the capability for diffusive flow in the relevant parts of the system. Processes are encountered in nearly all scientific" disciplines," and in everyday life, where the interaction of diffusional transport and a transforrnation reaction detern1ine or lin1it the workability of a phenon1enon. Only space limits the number of exan1ples that could be enumerated. from geology, agronomy, or physiology to the dyeing of garo1ents or the pot on the kitchen stove.
