Reactions that proceed from two competing mechanisms may not follow this principle.
Reactions that proceed from two competing mechanisms may not follow this principle. Related to the Maxwell Distribution Law by a factor of the exponential of Avogadro's Number, the assumption that the collision rate and steric factor will remain constant produces this equation's namesake pre-exponential factor.  This in turn determines the units of the rate constant. FTP, name this kinetic equation relating the temperature and activation energy of a reaction, named for a Swedish chemist.
