5 important questions on Kinetic data and their interpretation - Interpretation of rate constants - Transition state theory

When can the transition state theory be applied?

The transition state theory can only be applied when all individual reaction steps of a process are known.

What is the rate of product formation proportional to?

It is proportional to the concentration of X‡. v= k‡[X‡] = k‡K‡[A][B].

What are the Eyring equations?

 

k = ((T kb)/h)exp(-dG‡/RT)

k = ((T kb)/h) exp(-dH‡/RT)exp(dS‡/R)
