We show that chemical kinetics relations can be used to describe processes that involve binding and dissociation reactions that take place on surfaces. From a mathematical per- spective, the problem we study is a singular limit of a reaction-diffusion system in which one of the variables concentrates on a lower-dimensional set in the limit, while the other continues to diffuse in a fixed domain.
