Transition-state theory reexamined

Abstract:
Two quantum systems, each described as a random-matrix ensemble, are coupled to each other via a number of transition states. Each system is strongly coupled to a large number of channels. The average transmission probability is the product of three factors describing, respectively, formation of the first system from the entrance channel, decay of the second system through the exit channel, and transport through the transition states. Each of the transition states contributes a Breit-Wigner resonance. In general, the resonances overlap.

This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
