Kinetics of a Bimolecular Association in Benzene Solution and in the Gaseous State

Abstract

FOR the further development of the theory of reaction kinetics and polymerisation in the condensed state, it is important to compare the rate of an association reaction, of the type a + b c, in solution and in the gas phase. In this communication experiments are reported from which such a comparison is possible.
