Computer
based simulations for the three-body recombination reaction of nitrogen (II) oxide
with the hydroxyl radical have been used to estimate the error associated with
the pseudo-first orderapproximation
under different simulated conditions. For the absolute rate coefficients
calculated by dividing the pseudo-first
order constant by the concentration of the reactant in excess, the analysis of
the relative error associated with working under pseudo-first order conditions shows that for a reactiants’ ratio
higher than 10, the relative error is less than 5%.
