  2. Electron affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_affinity

    The relation between the two is E ea = −ΔE(attach). However, if the value assigned to E ea is negative, the negative sign implies a reversal of direction, and energy is required to attach an electron. In this case, the electron capture is an endothermic process and the relationship, E ea = −ΔE(attach) is still valid. Negative values ...

  3. Enthalpy change of solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_change_of_solution

    The equilibrium, between the gas as a separate phase and the gas in solution, will by Le Châtelier's principle shift to favour the gas going into solution as the temperature is decreased (decreasing the temperature increases the solubility of a gas). When a saturated solution of a gas is heated, gas comes out of the solution.

  4. Syngas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas

    Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, [1] in various ratios. The gas often contains some carbon dioxide and methane . It is principally used for producing ammonia or methanol .

  5. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    This is because stronger bonds form between atoms towards the top of the reactivity series, and strong bonds are difficult to break. For example, copper is near the bottom of the reactivity series, and copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ), begins to decompose at about 200 °C (473 K; 392 °F), increasing rapidly at higher temperatures to about 560 °C (833 ...

  6. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    In thermochemistry, an exothermic reaction is a "reaction for which the overall standard enthalpy change ΔH⚬ is negative." [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Exothermic reactions usually release heat . The term is often confused with exergonic reaction , which IUPAC defines as "... a reaction for which the overall standard Gibbs energy change Δ G ⚬ is negative."

  7. Thermometric titration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometric_titration

    It is postulated that the breakpoint is revealed by the difference in reaction enthalpies between the formation of the Cu-EDTA complex, and that for the formation of the Cu-amine complex. Fig. 16. Thermometric EDTA titration determination of trace Cu(II) by Mn(II) catalysis of exothermic reaction between hydrogen peroxide and polyhydric phenol.

  8. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    During the early 20th century, two major publications successfully applied the principles developed by Gibbs to chemical processes and thus established the foundation of the science of chemical thermodynamics. The first was the 1923 textbook Thermodynamics and the Free Energy of Chemical Substances by Gilbert N. Lewis and Merle Randall.

  9. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    Thermochemistry is the study of the heat energy which is associated with chemical reactions and/or phase changes such as melting and boiling.A reaction may release or absorb energy, and a phase change may do the same.
