i have derived an eq. for the equilibrium constant k for activated complex.
my teacher derived the eq. for k for activated complex for the following eq.
A+B
AB*
AB*
product
the result for k was
k=Ie- :delta: H*/RTk*my teacher then gave me an assignment for the k of activated complex for the following eq.
A+B
AB*
AB*
C*
AB*+C*
product
i used venthoff eq.
d ln k*=- :delta: H*/RT
nd second and third reactions are possible for that AB* is converting into C* and at the same time AB* and C* are reacting to make product.
having k*
1 nd k*
2 for second & third eq.
using venthoff equation,k for the 2nd eq. is same as before k=Ie
- :delta: H*/RTk*
but the k for third eq. that i did was k=Ie
- :delta: H*/RTk*C
AB*
2/C
ABC
Cand by adding both the k ,the final k is
k=Ie
- :delta: H*/RTk*[1+(C
AB*)
2/C
ABC
c]/2
i just wanted to know if my derivation is right.
