To generalize what we have just done to reactive and inelastic scattering, one needs to calculate numerically integrated trajectories for motions in many degrees of freedom. This is most convenient to develop in space-fixed Cartesian coordinates. In this case, the classical equations of motion (Hamilton s equations) are given...

The END equations are integrated to yield the time evolution of the wave function parameters for reactive processes from an initial state of the system. The solution is propagated until such a time that the system has clearly reached the final products. Then, the evolved state vector may be projected against a number of different possible final product states to yield coiresponding transition probability amplitudes. Details of the END dynamics can be depicted and cross-section cross-sections and rate coefficients calculated. 

This difference m reactivity especially toward hydrolysis has an important result We 11 see m Chapter 27 that the structure and function of proteins are critical to life Itself The bonds mainly responsible for the structure of proteins are amide bonds which are about 100 times more stable to hydrolysis than ester bonds These amide bonds are stable enough to maintain the structural integrity of proteins m an aqueous environment but susceptible enough to hydrolysis to be broken when the occasion demands... 

Ceramics. Calcined aluminas are used in both electronic and stmctural ceramics (see Advanced ceramics). Electronic appHcations are dominant in the United States and Japan whereas mechanical appHcations are predominant in Europe (1). Specialty electronic integrated circuit packages generally use the low soda and thermally reactive aluminas. 

The resonance integral of the 7r-bond between the heteroatom and carbon is another possible parameter in the treatment of heteroatomic molecules. However, for nitrogen compounds more detailed calculations have suggested that this resonance integral is similar to that for a C—C bond and moreover the relative values of the reactivity Indices at different positions are not very sensitive to change in this parameter.

For physical absorption, values of the mass-transfer coefficients may not vary greatly, so a mean value could be adequate and coiild be taken outside the integral sign, but for reactive absorption the variation usually is too great. 

This result comes from the idea of a variational rate theory for a diffusive dynamics. If the dynamics of the reactive system is overdamped and the effective friction is spatially isotropic, the time required to pass from the reactant to the product state is expected to be proportional to the integral over the path of the inverse Boltzmann probability.
