  2. Van der Waals constants (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_constants...

    The following table lists the Van der Waals constants (from the Van der Waals equation) for a number of common gases and volatile liquids. [ 1 ] To convert from L 2 b a r / m o l 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {L^{2}bar/mol^{2}} } to L 2 k P a / m o l 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {L^{2}kPa/mol^{2}} } , multiply by 100.

  3. Alkane metathesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane_metathesis

    These systems catalyze the conversion of ethane to give methane, propane and traces of butane. [1] Cross metathesis can also take place, for example methane and propane can react to give two molecules of ethane. Ethane reacts with toluene to give ethylbenzene and xylene. The reaction involves metallocyclobutane intermediates just as in olefin ...

  4. Benzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene

    This regulation is based on preventing benzene leukemogenesis. The maximum contaminant level goal , a nonenforceable health goal that would allow an adequate margin of safety for the prevention of adverse effects, is zero benzene concentration in drinking water. The EPA requires that spills or accidental releases into the environment of 10 ...

  5. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    Chemical analysis showed that the abundances of ethane and methane were roughly equal, which is thought to imply that its ices formed in interstellar space, away from the Sun, which would have evaporated these volatile molecules. [33] Alkanes have also been detected in meteorites such as carbonaceous chondrites.

  6. Standard Gibbs free energy of formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Gibbs_free_energy...

    The standard Gibbs free energy of formation (G f °) of a compound is the change of Gibbs free energy that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state from its constituent elements in their standard states (the most stable form of the element at 1 bar of pressure and the specified temperature, usually 298.15 K or 25 °C).

  7. Transalkylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transalkylation

    The reaction is used for the transfer of methyl and ethyl groups between benzene rings. This is of particular value in the petrochemical industry [1] to manufacture p-xylene, styrene, [2] and other aromatic compounds. Motivation for using transalkylation reactions is based on a difference in production and demand for benzene, toluene, and xylenes.

  8. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    In theoretical chemistry, an energy profile is a theoretical representation of a chemical reaction or process as a single energetic pathway as the reactants are transformed into products. This pathway runs along the reaction coordinate , which is a parametric curve that follows the pathway of the reaction and indicates its progress; thus ...

  9. Benzene (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene_(data_page)

    Water solubility: negligible Specific gravity: 0.87 Principal hazards *** Benzene is a carcinogen (cancer-causing agent). *** Very flammable. The pure material, and any solutions containing it, constitute a fire risk. Safe handling: Benzene should NOT be used at all unless no safer alternatives are available.
