  2. Endothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothermic_process

    An endothermic process is a chemical or physical process that absorbs heat from its surroundings. [1] In terms of thermodynamics, it is a thermodynamic process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system. [2] In an endothermic process, the heat that a system absorbs is thermal energy transfer into the

  3. Hydration energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_energy

    In chemistry, hydration energy (also hydration enthalpy) is the amount of energy released when one mole of ions undergoes solvation. Hydration energy is one component in the quantitative analysis of solvation. It is a particular special case of water. [1] The value of hydration energies is one of the most challenging aspects of structural ...

  4. Reaction calorimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_calorimeter

    Heat flow calorimetry allows the user to measure heat while the process temperature remains under control. While the driving force T r − T j is measured with a relatively high resolution, the overall heat transfer coefficient U or the calibration factor UA is determined by calibration before and after the reaction takes place.

  5. Thermochemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemical_equation

    In thermochemistry, a thermochemical equation is a balanced chemical equation that represents the energy changes from a system to its surroundings.One such equation involves the enthalpy change, which is denoted with In variable form, a thermochemical equation would appear similar to the following:

  6. Sorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorption

    Absorption "the incorporation of a substance in one state into another of a different state" [1] (e.g., liquids being absorbed by a solid or gases being absorbed by a liquid); Adsorption The physical adherence or bonding of ions and molecules onto the surface of another phase (e.g., reagents adsorbed to a solid catalyst surface); Ion exchange

  7. Glossary of chemistry terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  8. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Evaporation is an endothermic process, since heat is absorbed during evaporation. Applications Industrial applications include many printing and coating processes; recovering salts from solutions; and drying a variety of materials such as lumber, paper, cloth and chemicals.

  9. Absorption (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    A more common definition is that "Absorption is a chemical or physical phenomenon in which the molecules, atoms and ions of the substance getting absorbed enter into the bulk phase (gas, liquid or solid) of the material in which it is taken up." A more general term is sorption, which covers absorption, adsorption, and ion exchange. Absorption ...
