Chapter 3: Rate Laws

Collision Theory

Derivation of Energy Ratio Between and

where f(ε,T) de is the fraction of molecules with kinetic energies between ε and (ε+dε). We could further multiply and divide by kBT

Recalling

By letting , we could have put the distribution in dimensionless form

f(X,T) dX is the fraction of molecules that have energy ratios between and
