Title: Units for σ(m)?
Post by: Fischer on November 09, 2013, 02:53:03 PM

Hello all,

I was doing a lab for this certain mechanism. I have to calculate σ(m) which I did, but the units I got are k^-2 s^-1.

Is that correct? Also, what does σ(m) exactly quantify?


EDIT: just to add, I also have to calculate σ(Ea), what does this quantify?
