Abstract: In a previous communication the Boltzmann equations for a bimolecular chemical reaction were transformed into an infinite system of quadratic differential equations. It is shown here that the reaction rate may be calculated approximately by using the first differential equation only, which is a generalization of the phenomenological law of chemical kinetics. Then, a general method for solving the expanded Boltzmann equations by successive approximations is proposed and studied to first order.
