The difficulty I'm having with this is that when I first saw enthalpy defined as H = U + PV it was explained that because all the variables contained in the definition were state functions that enthalpy would also be a state function. Intuitively, this makes sense; a state function will ...
Current chemistry curricula split the thermodynamic chapters over a span of two semesters as well as splitting it over different units. This division fails to make explicit the connection between Enthalpy, Entropy and Gibbs Energy and how they affect how and why every reaction or process happens. ...
The enthalpy changes (ΔH), apparent activation energy (Ea, app), and intrinsic activation energy (Ea, int) are dependent on interactions with the solvent environment. Full size image In this work, attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR is used to measure liquid-phase pyridine adsorption ...
Ambipolar diffusion of ions and electrons as well as the chemical potential gradient in a growing film on metal. Based on this assumption and definition of binary interdiffusion, the flux of Li across the film is further driven as [Eq. 3]:18 (3) where F is the Faraday constant. The ...

Chemical species can be characterized by various observable features: mass, enthalpy of formation, charge (ions), dipole moment, magnetic susceptibility, electrical susceptibility, electromagnetic spectra, refraction index, polarizability, electron density distribution etc. But, on the other hand, the ...
The year 2015 marked the 150th anniversary of this definition, but it continues to be a confusing concept in thermodynamics. It is one of the challenges encountered in the attempt to reconcile the microscopic view of matter offered by statistical thermodynamics with the macroscopic view of ...
Here, the pH is with respect to ionic strength in terms of sequestration. Keywords: epinephrine; toxic cations; enthalpy and entropy changes; dependence on ionic strength; sequestering ability Graphical Abstract1. Introduction Catecholamines, such as dopamine, epinephrine (or adrenaline), and ...
The definition of 𝛼→ thus consists of re-parametrizing the hybridization thermodynamics on three classes of base pairing errors. To this aim, we split the total enthalpy and entropy into different contributions stemming from the different interactions involved in the duplex, Δ𝐻(𝐿,𝛼→)...
Further information on the definition of these thermophysical properties can be found elsewhere [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. One of the most significant limitations in designing and optimizing thermal food processing systems is the lack of data on thermophysical properties of food [11]. To overcome ...
