orientation barrier

Orientation Barrier - As noted earlier, the rate of reaction also depends on p, the fraction of collisions that occur with proper orientation. This factor is independent of temperature. Why proper orientation of the reactant molecule is important can be under..

From Arrhenius equation, it is seen that the rate constant k of a reaction increases with temperature and therefore, the rate of reaction also increases. Why does k depend on temperature? This can be explained, to a certain extent, by collision theor..

In this theory, the rate constant is related to three factors Z, f and p by the equation k = Zfp b (19) where Z is the collision frequency f is the fraction of collisions having energy greater than the threshold energy and p is the fraction of the collisions that occurs with the reactant molecules ..
