Eyring equation
The
Eyring equation
(occasionally also known as
Eyring–Polanyi equation
) is an equation used in
chemical kinetics
to describe the variance of the
rate of a chemical reaction
with
temperature
. It was developed almost simultaneously in 1935 by
Henry Eyring
,
Meredith Gwynne Evans
and
Michael Polanyi
. This equation follows from the
transition state theory
(
aka
, activated-complex theory) and is trivially equivalent to the
empirical
Arrhenius equation
which are both readily derived from
statistical thermodynamics
in the
kinetic theory of gases
.
