The rate constants of elementary processes in the atom–diatom system $\mathrm{O}{(}^{3}P)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(v\right)$, including the processes of vibrational relaxation and dissociation, were studied using the quasiclassical trajectory method. All calculations were carried out along the ground potential energy surface (PES) ³$A^{″}$ that was approximated by a neural network. Approximation data were obtained using ab initio quantum chemistry methods at the extended multi-configuration quasi-degenerate second-order perturbation theory XMCQDPT2 in a basis set limit. The calculated cross-sections of the reaction channels are in good agreement with the literature data. A complete set of state-to-state rate constants was obtained for the metathesis reaction, the dissociation and relaxation of the H₂ molecule upon collision with an O atom. According to these data, Arrhenius approximations over a wide temperature range were obtained for the thermal rate constants of considered processes. Data obtained on the dissociation constants and VT relaxation of vibrationally excited H₂ molecules can be used in constructing kinetic models describing the oxidation of hydrogen at high temperatures or highly nonequilibrium conditions.
