Abstract
Chemical reactions in liquid are complex many body events and the problem is how to construct a theoretical model which takes in to account the interactions and correlated motions of solute and solvent molecules. This is possible only by using somes implifications owing to the physical situation. Since the chemical reactions occur in spatially localiz ed regions, the system can be divided in to two parts: one comprising the solute and few solvent molecules initiating there action, the second composed of the solvent molecules acting as a heat bath and influencing the dynamics of the primary system. Due to the interaction between the two systems there is an irreversible energy flow to the heat bath and the dynamics of the reacting molecules is considered as stochastic.
