Because both forward and reverse reactions involve the participation of air molecules (M), the reaction rale coefficients for the forward and reverse reactions are represented by the general termolecular form (3.25). The reverse (decomposition) reactions in these types of reactions are typically highly temperature-dependent. Reaction rate coefficients for these two reactions are given in both the IUPAC (Atkinson et al. 2004) and JPL (Sander et al. 2003) kinetic data evaluations. In the IUPAC evaluation both forward and reverse rate coefficients are given. The JPL evaluation presents the forward rate coefficients and the equilibrium constants for the reactions. At equilibrium the rates of the forward (/) and reverse (r) reactions are equal, so the equilibrium constant, K r, is directly related to the forward, kf, and reverse, kf, rate coefficients. For example, for N2Os formation,...
