  2. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

    It also requires thermal energy to balance the change in entropy of the reaction. Therefore, the process cannot proceed at constant temperature at electrical energy inputs below 286 kJ per mol if no external thermal energy is added. Since each mole of water requires two moles of electrons, and given that the Faraday constant F represents the ...

  3. Enthalpy of neutralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_neutralization

    It is defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water. When a reaction is carried out under standard conditions at the temperature of 298 K (25 degrees Celsius) and 1 atm of pressure and one mole of water is formed, the heat released by the reaction is called the standard enthalpy of neutralization ( Δ H n ⊖ ).

  4. Spontaneous process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_process

    In thermodynamics, a spontaneous process is a process which occurs without any external input to the system. A more technical definition is the time-evolution of a system in which it releases free energy and it moves to a lower, more thermodynamically stable energy state (closer to thermodynamic equilibrium).

  5. Groundwater energy balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_energy_balance

    The energy balance of groundwater flow can be applied to flow of groundwater to subsurface drains. [2] The computer program EnDrain [3] compares the outcome of the traditional drain spacing equation, based on Darcy's law together with the continuity equation (i.e. conservation of mass), with the solution obtained by the energy balance and it can be seen that drain spacings are wider in the ...

  6. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    An energy profile of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, by definition, the enthalpy change has a negative value: ΔH = H products - H reactants < 0. where a larger value (the higher energy of the reactants) is subtracted from a smaller value (the lower energy of the products). For example, when hydrogen burns: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g ...

  7. Enthalpy of mixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_mixing

    In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of mixing (also heat of mixing and excess enthalpy) is the enthalpy liberated or absorbed from a substance upon mixing. [1] When a substance or compound is combined with any other substance or compound, the enthalpy of mixing is the consequence of the new interactions between the two substances or compounds. [1]

  8. Negative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature

    For energies exceeding the value where the peak occurs, the entropy decreases as energy increases, and high-energy states necessarily have negative Boltzmann temperature. The limited range of states accessible to a system with negative temperature means that negative temperature is associated with emergent ordering of the system at high energies.

  9. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    [13] [14] If two locations have different total chemical potentials for a species, some of it may be due to potentials associated with "external" force fields (electric potential energy, gravitational potential energy, etc.), while the rest would be due to "internal" factors (density, temperature, etc.) [13] Therefore, the total chemical ...
