The derivation of this equation assumes that molecules that pass the critical dividing surface cannot return, and that the vibrational modes of these molecules follow the (*) Boltzmann distribution. Using this equation requires knowledge of the Gibbs energy of activation and three constants: Boltzmann's, Planck's, and the ideal gas constant. Unlike a similar equation, it is based on the transition state theory and thus is useful for reactions in which the simple collision model does not hold. For 10 points, name this equation of chemical kinetics which, like the Arrhenius equation, relates the reaction rate to temperature.
The derivation of this equation assumes that molecules that pass the critical dividing surface cannot return, and that the vibrational modes of these molecules follow the (*) Boltzmann distribution.
