Question

Under what conditions a bimolecular reaction may be kinetic of the first order?

Answer 1

1. The bimolecular reaction is described as the process in which two molecules from the reactant and product collide.
2. In a bimolecular reaction, there are primarily two requirements that must be met in order for the reactant molecules to actually collide.

1. It should be possible for the two molecules to collide with enough kinetic energy.
   This energy is sometimes referred to as activation energy or threshold frequency.
   The least amount of energy needed for the two reactant species to carry out the reaction and produce the product is known as the activation energy.
2. The molecules should be correctly oriented.
