Abstract

Smoluchowski's method of evaluating the fundamental frequency factor for the rate of a reaction like the coagulation of colloid suspension by employing a purely diffusional treatment is extended to include the electrostatic effects arising from the presence of net charges. The introduction of the concept of a diffuse ionic cloud and the potential calculated therefrom leads to the following results: (a) The wellestablished Bronsted‐Debye primary salt effect formula is derived. (b) The so‐called “solvent” term of the Christiansen‐Scatchard equation arising from the self potential of the ions is also derived but appears as the linear approximation of an exponential expression. The conspicuous absence of quantum theory in evaluating the absolute rate of a kinetic reaction merits attention. V. K. LaM

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.
