  2. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    Computerized databases often include subroutines for calculating reaction properties and displaying the data as charts. Thermodynamic data comes from many types of experiments, such as calorimetry, phase equilibria, spectroscopy, composition measurements of chemical equilibrium mixtures, and emf measurements of

  3. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    Figure 6:Reaction Coordinate Diagrams showing reactions with 0, 1 and 2 intermediates: The double-headed arrow shows the first, second and third step in each reaction coordinate diagram. In all three of these reactions the first step is the slow step because the activation energy from the reactants to the transition state is the highest.

  4. Cracking (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracking_(chemistry)

    The "spent" catalyst then flows into a fluidized-bed regenerator where air (or in some cases air plus oxygen) is used to burn off the coke to restore catalyst activity and also provide the necessary heat for the next reaction cycle, cracking being an endothermic reaction. The "regenerated" catalyst then flows to the base of the riser, repeating ...

  5. Ethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane

    The reactions of ethane involve chiefly free radical reactions. Ethane can react with the halogens, especially chlorine and bromine, by free-radical halogenation. This reaction proceeds through the propagation of the ethyl radical: [36] Cl 2 → 2 Cl• C 2 H 6 • + Cl• → C 2 H 5 • + HCl C 2 H 5 • + Cl 2 → C 2 H 5 Cl + Cl•

    Steam cracker process diagram Gibbs free energy per carbon atom. This shows that at high temperature, hexane can split into ethane and ethylene ("Ethen"), and ethane can split into ethylene and hydrogen. But ethylene can decompose into methane and carbon if given too much time, and all the hydrocarbons can decompose into carbon and hydrogen.

    The Mollier enthalpy–entropy diagram for water and steam. The "dryness fraction", x , gives the fraction by mass of gaseous water in the wet region, the remainder being droplets of liquid. An enthalpy–entropy chart , also known as the H – S chart or Mollier diagram , plots the total heat against entropy, [ 1 ] describing the enthalpy of a ...

    English: Newman projections of ethane conformations & their relative energy differences (not total energies). Conformations form when ethane rotates about one of its single covalent bond. Torsional/dihedral angle is shown on x-axis. Conformations (according to IUPAC): A: staggered B: eclipsed

  9. Flammability diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_diagram

    Triangular diagrams are not commonplace. The easiest way to understand them is to briefly go through three basic steps in their construction. Consider the first triangular diagram below, which shows all possible mixtures of methane, oxygen and nitrogen. Air is a mixture of about 21 volume percent oxygen, and 79 volume percent inerts (nitrogen ...
