Chemical kinetics describes the rates of change of the concentration of species through chemical reactions. The rate constant, k, is depends on the chemical species undergoing reaction and the reaction conditions (i.e, temperature). Rate constants of elementary gas phase chemical reactions can be estimated by statistical thermodynamics using a rate theory. One of the simplest and more widely used theories is Eyring conventional transition state theory. In Eyring conventional transition state theory, the rate constant of a chemical reaction can be expressed in terms of the partition functions of the transition state and the reactants. Δ 𝐸 ‡ is the barrier height of the reaction. Transition state theory relies on three key assumptions in its derivation. Given a reaction where reactants A and B are converted to a transition state C: A + B ↽ −
