Table 2: A numerical example showing the non-mass-dependent relations between the different reaction rates in the oxygen isotopic system. In successive columns: (1) the isotopic reaction iO+jOM $\to {}^{i}$OjOM; (2) the reduced mass ratio $\Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MX}^{a }= [\mu _{\rm X-MY }$/ $\mu _{\rm X-MX} ]^{a}$ for a=0.1 and M=5; (3) $\Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MX}^{b }$ for b= 0.2; (4) $\Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MX}^{c }$ for c= 0.1; (5) the reaction rate ratio R. Two situations are distinguished: (1) for iO+ iOM ($i\equiv j$), $R = \Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MY}^{a} \ \Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MY}^{b }$ and for (2) jO+ iOM ($i\ne j$), $R=\{\Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MX}^{a}$ 1/2 [ $\Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MX}^{b }+\kappa \ \Delta \mu _{\rm Y-MX}^{c}$]; calculations are performed for $\kappa = 0.8$ (6) The product of the relative abundance with $^{16}\rm O=0.9976$, $^{17}\rm O=4\times 10^{-4}$ and $^{18}\rm O=2 \times 10^{-3}$ (7) the product of $(5)\times (6)$. The 17O/16O ratio of the OOM molecule (noted [17O/16O] $_{\rm OOM })$ is calculated from the values of the column [7]; that is for the abundance of 16O: {1/2 [ $3.585 \times 10^{-4} + 1.789 \times 10^{-3} + 3.587\times 10^{-4 }+ 1.792 \times 10^{-3}] + 9.952 \times 10^{-1}$} and similarly for 17O and 18O. The $\delta ^{17}$O ( $\mbox{\textperthousand}$) = ([17O/16O] $_{\rm OOM }$/[0.0004/0.9976])- 1) $\times $1000; similarly for $\delta ^{18}$O ( $\mbox{\textperthousand}$). That is: $\delta ^{17}\rm O
=-101.1\mbox{\textperthousand}$ and $\delta ^{18}\rm O= -102.2\mbox{\textperthousand}$ with $\delta ^{17}$O/ $\delta ^{18}\rm O=0.989$.
