For the gaseous reaction A + B → P, the reactive cross-section obtained from the experimental value of the frequency factor is 8.7 x 10-22 m2. The collisional cross- sections of A and B estimated from the transport properties are 0.88 nm2 and 0.40 nm2, respectively. Calculate the steric factor, P, for the reaction.
