Abstract
The theories of the rates of chemical reactions previously developed by Eyring, Rice and the author give a relationship between the rate of reaction and the free energy of formation of the activated state. With the aid of this relation it is possible to explain the experimental data which have shown that there is a connection between the rates of oxidation‐reduction reactions and the potentials of the reagents used.Keywords
