Chemical reaction noise-activated reactions

When the temperature T of the adsorption experiment is such that kT is greater than the activation barrier associated with the chemical reaction (i.e., kT> > AE2a c), then the precursor l- -2A rapidly transforms into the product C hence, its observation by IR spectroscopy is difficult or impossible. Under these conditions, the IR experiment gives information only about species C. If the activation barrier for the release of C is greater than kT AEq > kT), then only the spectroscopic manifestation of the C molecule perturbed by adsorption on F (h -C) will be detected by IR spectroscopy. Conversely, if AEcactive modes of C will be observed. In the latter case, the use of an IR cell with a long optical path will improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the band of C in the gas phase.
