What I meant was that any particular rection event is instant. Ed is correct that the formation of reaction events may not be instant and he is correct. My conjecture included the possibility that a singular event is very energetic and may initiate dissociation in nearby water. There is possibility for a chain reaction, as the BLP event releases intense UV energy which may couple into other molecules. Another catalyst is K+++, which is a two body reaction with H. There is evidence from Mills' gas phase experiments that reaction rates are complex functions of process parameters. I doubt that Mills has explored that parameter space of plasma electrolysis. It's just something to keep in mind while exploring these phenomena. Mike Carrell
