Abstract: In a closed oxygraph chamber, the oxygen concentration declines over time as a result of respiratory processes. The time derivative, therefore, is a negative number. Why is then the βrate of oxygen consumptionβ not expressed as a negative value? Why is the term βoxygen fluxβ used in this context of chemical reactions? The rationale is based on fundamental concepts of physical chemistry and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. β’ Keywords: Archive
