Is this system of rate differential equations sufficient to solve for the evolution of compositions of each chemical species? Explain, including a discussion of what else might be needed.

Consider the following elementary reaction mechanism where both the forward and reverse reactions are important:
k,, CO + 02s CO2 + 0 t,, trr 0+ H 20 <=> OH +OH t„ CO + OH <=> CO2+ H try H + 021.> OH +0
1. Write all chemical rate differential equations that are needed to determine the chemical evolution of the system.

2. Write all initial conditions that are needed to determine the chemical evolution of the system.

3. Is this system of rate differential equations sufficient to solve for the evolution of compositions of each chemical species? Explain, including a discussion of what else might be needed.
