Abstract
1. The reactions which will be the subject of the present paper are as follows : The first two reactions determine the rate of homogeneous thermal conversion of light and heavy para- ortho-hydrogen. The mechanism of the homogeneous thermal conversion of light para-hydrogen into ordinary hydrogen has been cleared up in an important paper by A. Farkas.1 The rates of reaction (2) together with those of (3) and (4) have been measured recently by A. and L. Farkas 2 and compared with each other on the basis of the usual theory of collision numbers. In the present paper we shall compute the reaction rate of the elementary reactions (I) to (4) on the basis of more recent theories 3, 4, 5 since, so far, these are the only examples providing both theoretical and experimental data for a comparison
