We investigate a class of stochastic aggregation processes involving two types of clusters: active and passive. The mass distribution is obtained analytically for several aggregation rates. When the aggregation rate is constant, we find that the mass distribution of passive clusters decays algebraically. Furthermore, the entire range of acceptable decay exponents is possible. For aggregation rates proportional to the cluster masses, we find that gelation is suppressed. In this case, the tail of the mass distribution decays exponentially for large masses, and as a power law over an intermediate size range.
