Abstract
Formulations are examined for connecting average kinetic energies of the products of a unimolecular decomposition with the total available energy. A straightforward method for the calculation of kinetic shifts is then described. Existing data suggest, nevertheless, that the effective number of internal degrees‐of‐freedom for energy disposal may be greater than the physical number, a result inaccessible to existing theory. A formal reconciliation is indicated here.Keywords
