A thermodynamic-probabilistic analysis of diverse homogeneous stoichiometric chemical reactions

Research into the nature of atom-migration dynamics has demonstrated a linear relationship between the driving force for these processes and the probability for forward as opposed to reverse reaction. An assumption that this observation would prove to be just as valid for stoichiometric chemical reactions would allow a thermodynamic-probabilistic model to be developed. Using this linear approach, the resulting probabilistic reaction path developed was correlated with empirical kinetic data. The exceedingly high correlation between the probabilistic path and the empirical data over the entire range of experimental observations constitutes definitive evidence that stoichiometric chemical reactions are themselves purely stochastic processes and, moreover, that the linear assumption is in fact valid.
