Abstract
Within the framework of linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics, a generalization of the mass action law to the case of two-temperature reacting gases is performed. Concrete calculations are performed for the dissociation of diatomic molecules and ionization of atoms under conditions when the translational temperature of heavy particles differs from the vibrational temperature of molecules and from the temperature of electrons.
