Inelastic and Reactive Collisions of Translationally Excited Molecules.
Abstract
It has been shown that for the prototype system K+HCl = KCl + H, one quantum of vibrational excitation accelerates the reaction about two orders of magnitude, and that translational energy is only about 10 percent as effective as a comparable amount of vibrational energy. The input of an excess of translational energy is shown to decrease the reaction probability.
