Jixin Chen discovers new reaction rate in solution, with implications for industrial, biological processes

December 8, 2022 While the world watches the soccer world cup, chemist Jixin Chen is studying another kind of "ball" and discovering that a 100-year-old collision theory doesn't stand up to 21st century calculations.

Figure 1. Thought experiments comparing collisions in gas and mixed gasses under normal conditions. Figure (a) shows a random distribution of gases A and B in a sample volume traveling at a relative speed of vr in time t, and two possible distance d vs time trajectories. Figure (b) shows A and B diluted with C, and two possible trajectories between A and B. Where the flux of A is a function of time whose limit at infinity long time is used to calculate the collision frequency in the Smoluchowski rate model.
