Key words: theory of absolute rates of reactions, non-ideal reaction systems, relaxation of environment, molecular theory
The analysis of the equations for rates of elementary reactions in non-ideal systems demonstrates that traditional notion of the existence of chemical potential of the activated complex in dense phases contradicts real times of molecular and procedure of statistical averaging of molecular distributions. The expressions connecting rate constants of elementary chemical reactions obtained at atmospheric pressure and in supercritical conditions are derived.
