Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of the Rate of Exchange Chemical Reactions in the Gas Phase
Abstract
A theory of the reaction rate of simple exchange reactions in the gas phase is developed on the basis of the quantum-statistical mechanical theory of linear irreversible processes due to Kubo et al. A formal expression for the rate coefficient is found near the equilibrium point. A number of relations are derived concerning the scattering amplitudes for the collisions involved in the above reactions. By making use of these relations, the rate constant is expressed in terms of the reaction cross sections in a way which coincides with that known from a more intuitive collisional approach. Since no ad hoc assumptions are made, the present theory can be said to provide a statistical mechanical foundation for the collision theory in the particular case discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
