The activated state is less solvated than the reactants which restricts the motion of
activated complex. The Gibbs free energy change of activation (IG*) was found to be highest in aqueous isopropanol and lowest in water showed the formation of activated state is more favorable in water than in methanol, ethanol and isopropanol.
Moreover, the transition state theory and KAS dynamics model were also used to investigate the energy triplet of the
activated complex in the combustion processes.
It should be possible for AH and CHS in the chromosphere to form an
activated complex, CHS + AH [right arrow] [CHS-HA.sup.*].
Effect of Dielectric Constant and Calculation of the Size of the
Activated Complex. In order to find out the effect of the dielectric constant of the medium on the rate of the reaction, the reaction was studied at different dielectric constants (D) of the medium with constant concentrations of all other reactants and at a constant temperature.
For the forward reaction between JCO and methanol, the reaction should acquire the activation energy level before the reactants can form the
activated complex.
