The effects of gravitational potential on chemical reaction rates

Abstract This study aims to answer through a mathematical model and its numerical simulation the question whether the kinetic rate constants of chemical reactions are influenced by the strength of gravitational field. In order to calculate the effects of gravity on the kinetic rate constants, the model of kinetic rate constants derived from collision theory is amended by introducing the mass and length corrections provided by general relativity. Numerical simulations of the model show that the rate constant is higher where the gravitational field is more intense.
