Energy Exchange in Unimolecular Reactions

The rate constant of a second-order reaction ko depends on the nature of the collision partners. 

An example of widely varying effectivities is the reaction H2O2 + M 2 OH 

The study of unimolecular reactions gives valuable information on energy exchange processes. Defining the measured value of ko (see Eqs. (17.9) and (17.15))
