Question:
Consider a unimolecular decomposition that proceeds via the Lindemann mechanism:
The reactant A may also be activated by a collision with a product molecule B:
Use collision theory to calculate the relative magnitudes of k1, and k3. You may assume that the two reactions have the same threshold energy. ( Hint: What is a reasonable assumption about the relative volumes of B and A?)
This is the problem 3.12 of the book “Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Dynamics, written by Paul L. Houston”.
