Stochastic Model of Unimolecular Reactions and the RRKM Theory.
A stochastic model of unimolecular reactions has been adopted for investigation of the validity and limitation of the RRKM theory. The error caused by the steady-state approximation for distribution of energized molecules is small, while the assumption of the internal energy equilibration of energized molecules might cause serious errors for reactions of low activation energies.
