A hot gas dissociates very quickly, on the order of microseconds. One might think we could neglect the speed of dissociation, then, and model the gas in an equilibrium state. However, many things ...

Chemical kinetics investigates the rates at which reactions occur and the factors that influence these rates, while transition state theory (TST) provides a rigorous framework for understanding the ...

HOUSTON -- (April 30, 2020) -- Rice University researchers have discovered a hidden symmetry in the chemical kinetic equations scientists have long used to model and study many of the chemical ...
