I have question on the surface reaction

I have done a model on Metal oxidation reaction and diffusion process.
and I have get some results on the concentraion of metal oxyde.
but the concentration of metal oxyde on the surface of metal can vary from small to very large number, whihc is larger than the maximum value. it is impossible in nature.

the question is how to control the concentraion under the maximum value in the reaction and diffusion process.

thanks

Use a reversible reaction with an equilibrium constant that prevents too high concentration:

rate = kf*c_O*c_M - kb*c_MO

Since the activity of pure solid metal is 1, this reduces to

rate = kf*c_O - kb*c_MO

and the equilibrium constant is K = kf/kb where kf and kb are the forward and backward reaction rate constants.

thanks,

I know the problem is from the false constant.
thank you very much.
