Reduced Mass in Chemical Kinetics Formulas

The Reduced Mass is the "effective" inertial mass appearing in the two-body problem. It is a quantity which allows the two-body problem to be solved as if it were a one-body problem. And is denoted by μ. Reduced Mass is usually measured using the Kilogram for Weight. Note that the value of Reduced Mass is always positive. Typically, the value of Reduced Mass is greater than 0.

FAQ

What is the Reduced Mass?

The Reduced Mass is the "effective" inertial mass appearing in the two-body problem. It is a quantity which allows the two-body problem to be solved as if it were a one-body problem. Reduced Mass is usually measured using the Kilogram for Weight. Note that the value of Reduced Mass is always positive. Typically, the value of Reduced Mass is greater than 0.

Can the Reduced Mass be negative?

No, the Reduced Mass, measured in Weight cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Reduced Mass?

Reduced Mass is usually measured using the Kilogram[kg] for Weight. Gram[kg], Milligram[kg], Ton (Metric)[kg] are the few other units in which Reduced Mass can be measured.
