Abstract

A new approach for describing chemical kinetics for reactions in gas phase is proposed, which removes some observed inconsistencies. This new approach is referring mainly to the law of mass actions in both forms, chemical equilibrium and reaction rate. A new interpretation of the activation energy is also given, so that the Arrhenius law becomes consistent with both Boltzmann statistic distribution and the definition of equilibrium constant. It will be shown that the activation energy is not a simple constant, it depends on the temperature at which the reaction begins.
