Abstract
There are a number of features which distinguish kinetic problems in solutions from those in the gas phase. The most obvious is that the chemical entities being studied are different in the two phases. A sodium ion in the gas phase is a bare ion. In solution it carries with it a sheath of solvent, i.e., it is solvated. This difference is apparent in the equilibrium properties of solutions. In most instances there are both enthalpy changes and volume changes upon solvation. These effects clearly indicate that the solvated species and the pure substance differ significantly, differences which also affect the kinetic properties.
