The discrimination of the fast second‐order, pseudo‐first‐order and fast pseudo‐first‐order reaction models on the basis of the second‐order reaction model justifies the use of the pseudo‐first‐order model in the prediction of the multiplicity regions. The use of the fast second‐order reaction model leads to a certain pitfall regarding uniqueness and multiplicity. Finally, the use of the fast pseudo‐first‐order reaction model is justifiable not only because of the fair agreement between the multiplicity regions predicted by this model and the second‐order model but also because of the analyticity of the uniqueness and multiplicity regions obtained by this model.
