Some recent examples of reactions proceeding both in the gas phase and in solution have been investigated to determine their kinetics and mechanisms. The ratio of the corresponding rate constants, k_G and k_L, of the elementary processes studied has been found to be about unity for unimolecular reactions and between 1 and 10 for bimolecular reactions. The mechanisms, overall rates, rate constants, and activation energies have been determined for the homogeneous gas reaction NOCl + Cl₂O = NO₂Cl + Cl₂ and the reaction NOCl + N₂O₅ = NO₂Cl + 2 NO₂, carried out in C₂F₃Cl₃.

16 Therefore, strictly speaking, the overall reaction is 4 ClO₂ + (2 + 2x)N₂O₅ = 4 NO₃Cl + (3 + x)O₂ + 2x N₂O₄ (IV') However, the value of x deviates noticeably from zero only in mixtures containing a deficiency of ClO₂ [1].

17 Since k = 15.8 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹ (40.5 °C), the value of k_IV should be k_IV = 7.9 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹. The measurements on the systems ClO₂/NO₂/N₂O₄ and ClO₂/N₂O₅ gave K_I = 1.62 × 10⁻³ mm Hg⁻¹ min⁻¹ (40.5 °C) and k_IV = 8.2 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹ (40.5 °C) [1].
