The standard @[email protected] of @[email protected] $$\Delta ^{\ddagger}H^{\,\unicode{x26ac}}$$ is the @[email protected] change that appears in the thermodynamic form of the rate equation obtained from conventional @[email protected] This equation is only correct for a first order reaction, for which the @[email protected] has the dimension reciprocal time. For a second order reaction, for which the @[email protected] has the dimension (reciprocal time) × (reciprocal concentration), the left hand side should be read as $$k\ c^{\,\unicode{x26ac}}$$, where $$c^{\,\unicode{x26ac}}$$ denotes the @[email protected] (usually $$1\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}$$). $k = \frac{k_{\text{B}}\ T}{h}\ \text{e}^{\frac{\Delta ^{\ddagger }S^{\,\unicode{x26ac}}}{R}}\ \mathrm{e}^{\frac{-\Delta ^{\ddagger }H^{\,\unicode{x26ac}}}{R\ T}}$ The quantity $$\Delta ^{\ddagger}S^{\,\unicode{x26ac}}$$ is the standard @[email protected], and care must be taken with standard states. In this equation $$k_{\text{B}}$$ is the @[email protected], $$T$$ the absolute temperature, $$h$$ the @[email protected], and $$R$$ the @[email protected] The @[email protected] of @[email protected] is approximately equal to the @[email protected]; the conversion of one into the other depends on the @[email protected] The @[email protected] of @[email protected] is always the standard quantity, although the word standard and the superscript $$^{\unicode{x26ac}}$$ on the symbol are often omitted. The symbol is frequently (but incorrectly) written $$\Delta H^{\ddagger }$$, where the standard symbol is omitted and the $$\ddagger$$ is placed after the $$H$$.
