An analytical solution, step-by-step with respect to the ''relative'' lethargy, is constructed in the transform space; the inversion is facilitated by the use of Bromwich's technique. In the process, a procedure for determining the lethargy-dependent spatial moments of the total (scalar) flux is developed.

The gas is modelled as a mixture made up by atoms and molecules undergoing reactions of dissociation and recombination through a transition state. In the fluid-dynamic regime, two (slightly) different scalings are addressed, that lead to a formal derivation of hydrodynamic equations which are not necessarily of reaction-diffusion type though they both involve diffusive terms in the number densities.

Explicit results for the distribution function as well as a generalization of the continuity equation for the total density of the particles to be considered are obtained for the case when the relevant removal parameters are constant. For the general case existence and uniqueness of the solution for the distribution function are proved by an application of the contracting mapping principle.

In this first approach, BGK results are tested versus the only exact analytical solutions available in the literature for mixtures,
