Abstract
A quantum-statistical treatment of chemical kinetics is presented which does not differ between non-reactive scattering and rearrangement processes. This treatment is done in such a way that the standard methods of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics become applicable. Kinetics equations of the Waldmann-Snider, and Wang Chang and Uhlenbeck type are derived for the reduced density operator of different species related to an homo-geneous, dilute gaseous system of the type AB+C⇌2AC+B⇌2BC+A. Global rate coefficients for the different rearrangement processes are defined and derived when starting with Waldmann-Snider type equations.
