Abstract: The general results of article I on the stochastic representation of the macroscopic stationary state of a self-catalytic chemical system are applied to a step-by-step chemical reaction. The relaxation times to the quasi-stationary state and to the final stationary state are computed by evaluating the first two non-trivial eigenvalues of the transition matrix. The previous results of Oppenheim, Shuler and Weiss are confirmed, precised and extended. The critical and subcritical cases are treated by the same method.
