  2. Entropy of activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_of_activation

    A = (ek B T/h) exp(ΔS ‡ /R), while for bimolecular gas reactions A = (e 2 k B T/h) (RT/p) exp(ΔS ‡ /R). In these equations e is the base of natural logarithms, h is the Planck constant, k B is the Boltzmann constant and T the absolute temperature. R′ is the ideal gas constant. The factor is needed because of the pressure dependence of ...

  3. Taft equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft_equation

    δ is a reaction constant that describes the susceptibility of a reaction series to steric effects. For the definition reaction series δ was set to 1 and E s for the reference reaction was set to zero. This equation is combined with the equation for σ* to give the full Taft equation.

  5. Enthalpy–entropy compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy–entropy...

    In thermodynamics, enthalpy–entropy compensation is a specific example of the compensation effect. The compensation effect refers to the behavior of a series of closely related chemical reactions (e.g., reactants in different solvents or reactants differing only in a single substituent), which exhibit a linear relationship between one of the following kinetic or thermodynamic parameters for ...

  6. Transition state theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_state_theory

    At 298 K, a reaction with ΔG ‡ = 23 kcal/mol has a rate constant of k ≈ 8.4 × 10 −5 s −1 and a half life of t 1/22.3 hours, figures that are often rounded to k ~ 10 −4 s −1 and t 1/2 ~ 2 h. Thus, a free energy of activation of this magnitude corresponds to a typical reaction that proceeds to completion overnight at room ...

  7. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  8. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...

  9. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    A major use of the integrated equation is to estimate a new equilibrium constant at a new absolute temperature assuming a constant standard enthalpy change over the temperature range. To obtain the integrated equation, it is convenient to first rewrite the Van 't Hoff equation as [2]
