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 + Cl 2 O = NO 2 Cl + Cl 2 and the reaction NOCl + N 2 O 5 = NO 2 Cl + 2 NO 2 , carried out in C 2 F 3 Cl 3 .
