The Absolute Rate of Reactions in Condensed Phases
Abstract
The theory of absolute reaction rates is developed for condensed phases. The equation for the rate of a reaction of any order in any phase where the slow process is the passage over an energy barrier consists of the product of a transmission coefficient κ, a frequency kT/h, an equilibrium constant between an activated complex and the reactants and an activity coefficient factor. Previous theories of reaction rates such as Brönsted's, the collision theory of Mc C. Lewis, etc., are seen to be special cases of the general theory. A variety of examples are considered.

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.
