Abstract: An additive approach for determining the activation energies of thermoneutral reactions is presented, which makes it possible to find the rate constants of radical reactions of H atom abstraction based on the enthalpy of these reactions and the rate constants of the corresponding symmetric reactions.

Keywords: additive method, activation energy, enthalpy of reaction, increment, thermoneutral reaction.
