If the Gibbs energy of a mixture varies as shown 4.8 The oxidation of glucose in Fig. 4.1a, very little of the reactants convert into products before G has reached its minimum value, and the reaction “does not go.” If G varies as shown in Proton transfer equilibria Fig. 4.1c, then a high proportion of products must form before G reaches its min- 4.9 Brønsted-Lowry theory imum and the reaction “goes.” In many cases, the equilibrium mixture contains al- 4.10 Protonation and most no reactants or almost no products.

Exercises To keep our ideas in focus, we consider two important processes.

Suppose that in a short interval while the reaction reaction reaches equilibrium is in progress, the amount of G6P changes infinitesimally by Ϫdn. As a result of with approximately equal this change in amount, the contribution of G6P to the total Gibbs energy of the amounts of reactants and system changes by Ϫ␮G6Pdn, where ␮G6P is the chemical potential (the partial mo- products present in the lar Gibbs energy) of G6P in the reaction mixture.

First, it is the difference of the chemical potentials of the products and reactants at the composition of the reaction mixture. Second, we can think of ⌬rG as the derivative of G with respect to n, or the slope of the graph of G plotted against the changing composition of the system (Fig. 4.2). The binding of oxygen to hemoglobin provides a slightly more complicated ex- ample. If the amount of Hb changes by Ϫdn, then from the reaction stoichiome- try we know that the change in the amount of O2 will be Ϫ4dn and the change in the amount of Hb(O2)4 will be ϩdn. Each change contributes to the change in the total Gibbs energy of the mixture, and the overall change is ⌬ ϭ ␮ ϫ Ϫ ␮ ϫ Ϫ ␮ ϫ G Hb(O2)4 dn Hb dn O2 4dn ϭ ␮ Ϫ ␮ Ϫ ␮ ( Hb(O2)4 Hb 4 O2)dn Thermodynamic background 153 where the ␮J are the chemical potentials of the species in the reaction mixture.

  • Laboratory 1: Chemical Equilibrium 1
    1 Laboratory 1: Chemical Equilibrium 1 Reading: Olmstead and Williams, Chemistry , Chapter 14 (all sections) Purpose: The shift in equilibrium position of a chemical reaction with applied stress is determined. Introduction Chemical Equilibrium No chemical reaction goes to completion. When a reaction stops, some amount of reactants remain. For example, although we write → ← 2 CO 2 (g) 2 CO (g) + O 2 (g) (1) as though it goes entirely to products, at 2000K only 2% of the CO 2 decomposes. A chemical reaction reaches equilibrium when the concentrations of the reactants and products no longer change with time. The position of equilibrium describes the relative amounts of reactants and products that remain at the end of a chemical reaction. The position of equilibrium for reaction (1) is said to lie with the reactants, or to the left, because at equilibrium very little of the carbon dioxide has reacted. On the other hand, in the reaction → ← H2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) H2O (g) (2) the equilibrium position lies very far to the right since only very small amounts of H 2 and O 2 remain after the reaction reaches equilibrium. Since chemists often wish to maximize the yield of a reaction, it is vital to determine how to control the position of the equilibrium. The equilibrium position of a reaction may shift if an external stress is applied. The stress may be in the form of a change in temperature, pressure, or the concentration of one of the reactants or products. For example, consider a flask with an equilibrium mixture of CO 2, CO, and O 2, as in reaction (1).

    Chapter 4 Calculation of Standard Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Electrolytes and Non-Electrolytes Vladimir Majer Laboratoire de Thermodynamique des Solutions et des Polymères Université Blaise Pascal Clermont II / CNRS 63177 Aubière, France Josef Sedlbauer Department of Chemistry Technical University Liberec 46117 Liberec, Czech Republic Robert H. Wood Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716, USA 4.1 Introduction Thermodynamic modeling is important for understanding and predicting phase and chemical equilibria in industrial and natural aqueous systems at elevated temperatures and pressures. Such systems contain a variety of organic and inorganic solutes ranging from apolar nonelectrolytes to strong electrolytes; temperature and pressure strongly affect speciation of solutes that are encountered in molecular or ionic forms, or as ion pairs or complexes. Properties related to the Gibbs energy, such as thermodynamic equilibrium constants of hydrothermal reactions and activity coefficients of aqueous species, are required for practical use by geologists, power-cycle chemists and process engineers. Derivative properties (enthalpy, heat capacity and volume), which can be obtained from calorimetric and volumetric experiments, are useful in extrapolations when calculating the Gibbs energy at conditions remote from ambient. They also sensitively indicate evolution in molecular interactions with changing temperature and pressure. In this context, models with a sound theoretical basis are indispensable, describing with a limited number of adjustable parameters all thermodynamic functions of an aqueous system over a wide range of temperature and pressure. In thermodynamics of hydrothermal solutions, the unsymmetric standard-state convention is generally used; in this case, the standard thermodynamic properties (STP) of a solute reflect its interaction with the solvent (water), and the excess properties, related to activity coefficients, correspond to solute-solute interactions.

  • TSCA Inventory Representation for Products Containing Two Or More
    mixtures.txt TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT INVENTORY REPRESENTATION FOR PRODUCTS CONTAINING TWO OR MORE SUBSTANCES: FORMULATED AND STATUTORY MIXTURES I. Introduction This paper explains the conventions that are applied to listings of certain mixtures for the Chemical Substance Inventory that is maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This paper discusses the Inventory representation of mixtures of substances that do not react together (i.e., formulated mixtures) as well as those combinations that are formed during certain manufacturing activities and are designated as mixtures by the Agency (i.e., statutory mixtures). Complex reaction products are covered in a separate paper. The Agency's goal in developing this paper is to make it easier for the users of the Inventory to interpret Inventory listings and to understand how new mixtures would be identified for Inventory inclusion. Fundamental to the Inventory as a whole is the principle that entries on the Inventory are identified as precisely as possible for the commercial chemical substance, as reported by the submitter. Substances that are chemically indistinguishable, or even identical, may be listed differently on the Inventory, depending on the degree of knowledge that the submitters possess and report about such substances, as well as how submitters intend to represent the chemical identities to the Agency and to customers. Although these chemically indistinguishable substances are named differently on the Inventory, this is not a "nomenclature" issue, but an issue of substance representation. Submitters should be aware that their choice for substance representation plays an important role in the Agency's determination of how the substance will be listed on the Inventory.

ŠKOLITEL BRNO 2018 ABSTRAKT Stárnutí teplonosných kapalin na organické bázi je dlouhodobým problémem, který je znám od počátku jejich používání. První část této disertační práce je tak věnována případové studii funkčního experimentálního systému, který byl jako nový naplněn teplonosnou kapalinou na bázi propan-1,2-diol a pozorován po období 7 let. Pro analýzu stárnutí kapaliny v tomto systému byly sledovány základní provozní vlastnosti kapaliny jako jsou hustota, viskozita, teplota tuhnutí, pH a obsah kovů. Skrze tyto vlastnosti tak bylo sledováno stárnutí kapaliny nepřímo. Přímé sledování stárnutí bylo posléze provedeno analýzou degradačních produktů, jako jsou organické kyseliny a změny ve složení směsi pomocí izotachoforézy a hmotnostní spektrometrie. Pro srovnání byly taktéž analyzovány vybrané vzorky z několik dalších systémů plněných identickou kapalinou s prokazatelně pokročilou formou degradace. V druhé části práce jsou představeny základní fyzikálně-chemické vlastnosti směsí propan-1,3-diolu s vodou a jejich analytické hodnocení a matematické modelování pro universální použití jakožto nového základu pro nemrznoucí teplonosné kapaliny. Na základě dostupných informací je pak hodnocena použitelnost této směsi. Výhoda propan-1,3-diolu je spatřována především ve výrobě z obnovitelných zdrojů a v některých fyzikálních a chemických vlastnostech, které dle dosavadních poznatků předčívají doposud používané glykolové směsi.

  • Recitation Section 4 Answer Key Biochemistry—Energy and Glycolysis
    MIT Department of Biology 7.014 Introductory Biology, Spring 2005 Recitation Section 4 Answer Key February 14-15, 2005 Biochemistry—Energy and Glycolysis A. Why do we care In lecture we discussed the three properties of a living organism: metabolism, regulated growth, and replication. Today we will focus on metabolism and biosynthesis. 1. It was said in lecture that chemical reactions are the basis of life. Why do we say that? Being alive implies being able to change your state in response to a change in internal or environmental conditions. We discussed previously that any change in the observable characteristics of a cell begins as and is propagated by molecular interactions. Molecular interactions propagate the signal by changing the state of molecules, i.e. by reactions. 2. Why is metabolism required for life? A cell is subject to all laws of chemistry and physics, including the first and second law of thermodynamics. Changing the state of molecules dissipates energy along the way, so getting or making new energy is essential to life. The energy is then used for many purposes, including making the building blocks and precursors and then using them to build macromolecules that make up cells—biosynthesis. 3. Can an entity that performs no chemical reactions be considered “alive?” In general, no. But there are special cases of the cells that do not perform reactions right at the moment, but have the potential to perform reactions if they encounter particular conditions. Some examples of such cells are spores in nature or frozen permanents in laboratory. If they experience certain conditions, such as availability of food for spores, or defrosting and food source for frozen permanents, these cells will again perform metabolism.
