For a reaction with a single rate-determining step
where
is the cathodic transfer
coefficient (number),
is the
gas constant,
is
the
thermodynamic temperature, and
the
stoichiometric number giving the number of identical activated complexes formed and destroyed in the completion
of the overall reaction as formulated with the transfer of
electrons.
