Abstract
The influence of reversibility and diffusion on the rate constant of rapid bimolecular reactions in solution is explored with statistical nonequilibrium thermodynamics. For reactions with stoichiometry A + B ⇄ C, we find that in dilute solution the Smoluchowski-Collins-Kimball steady-state expression for the rate constant is valid only when the steady state is sufficiently far from equilibrium
