Slater's theory of unimolecular reactions is tested by comparing theoretical and experimental values of the pressure at which the rate constant has fallen off from the high-pressure limit by 5%. A simplified method is used for calculating lower bounds to the theoretical value of this pressure. Agreement with experimental data on cyclobutane, cyclobutene, and nitrogen pentoxide is rather poor; experimental values are lower than the calculated lower bounds.
