Modeling of the elementary step in the chemical transformation of crystals. I. Statement of the problem; description of the model

Isoparametric kinetic relations for chemical transformations in condensed substances (Analytical survey). II. Reactions involving the participation of solid substances

“…The other publications surveyed in [4] explain much wider ranges of A as well. Although interesting approaches to the problem have been found of late [14], on the whole there is no satisfactory theory to explain the activation energy and pre-exponential factor as applied to solid-phase reactions. According to [ 15], the decomposition of solids does not give rise at all to a discrete activated state, and the absence of statistical energy distribution precludes the use of the Arrhenius equation.…”
