To examine the validity of Golden's theory for the chemical reaction rate, the rates of reaction H+H2→H2+H have been calculated by the theory.
It has been found that the results which give a negative energy of activation and extremely large value of rate can not explain the observed value quitely.
The defects of Golden's first approximation which cause this disagreement are discussed.
It is concluded that Golden's method is inadequate to calculate the chemical reaction rates, in general, because the perturbation defined in the method can not be small, except the reaction which occurs at very high temperature or has very small potential change.
