  2. Gas-phase ion chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-phase_ion_chemistry

    Gas phase ion chemistry is a field of science encompassed within both chemistry and physics. It is the science that studies ions and molecules in the gas phase, most often enabled by some form of mass spectrometry. By far the most important applications for this science is in studying the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions.

  3. Grote–Hynes theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grote–Hynes_theory

    Grote–Hynes theory is a theory of reaction rate in a solution phase. This rate theory was developed by James T. Hynes with his graduate student Richard F. Grote in 1980. [1] The theory is based on the generalized Langevin equation (GLE). This theory introduced the concept of frequency dependent friction for

  4. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    An example of this occurs at the supercritical liquid–gas boundaries. The first example of a phase transition which did not fit into the Ehrenfest classification was the exact solution of the Ising model, discovered in 1944 by Lars Onsager.

  5. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    Heterogeneous catalysis typically involves solid phase catalysts and gas phase reactants. [2] In this case, there is a cycle of molecular adsorption, reaction, and desorption occurring at the catalyst surface. Thermodynamics, mass transfer, and heat transfer influence the rate (kinetics) of reaction.

  6. Chemiluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiluminescence

    This is a gas-phase reaction of phosphorus vapor, above the solid, with oxygen producing excited states of (PO) 2 and HPO. [ 7 ] Another gas phase reaction is the basis of nitric oxide detection in commercial analytic instruments applied to environmental air-quality testing.

  7. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    The phase diagram shows, in pressure–temperature space, the lines of equilibrium or phase boundaries between the three phases of solid, liquid, and gas. The curves on the phase diagram show the points where the free energy (and other derived properties) becomes non-analytic: their derivatives with respect to the coordinates (temperature and ...

  8. Chemical ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_ionization

    Chemical ionization for gas phase analysis is either positive or negative. [12] Almost all neutral analytes can form positive ions through the reactions described above. In order to see a response by negative chemical ionization (NCI, also NICI), the analyte must be capable of producing a negative ion (stabilize a negative charge) for example ...

  9. Chemical thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_thermodynamics

    Understanding this is perhaps a "thought experiment" in chemical kinetics, but actual examples exist. A gas-phase reaction at constant temperature and pressure which results in an increase in the number of molecules will lead to an increase in volume. Inside a cylinder closed with a piston, it can proceed only by doing work on the piston.
