  2. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Figure 13 shows a common way to illustrate the effect of an enzyme on a given biochemical reaction. [11] Figure 12: An energy profile, showing the products (Y), reactants (X), activation energy (E a) for the endothermic and exothermic reaction, and the enthalpy (ΔH). The profile for same reaction but with a catalyst is also shown.

  3. Elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction

    Elimination reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene with sulfuric acid and heat [1] An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism. [2] The one-step mechanism is known as the E2 reaction, and the two-step mechanism is known as the E1 reaction ...

  4. E1cB-elimination reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E1cB-elimination_reaction

    An example of the E1cB reaction mechanism in the degradation of a hemiketal under basic conditions. The E1cB elimination reaction is a type of elimination reaction which occurs under basic conditions, where the hydrogen to be removed is relatively acidic, while the leaving group (such as -OH or -OR) is a relatively poor one.

  5. Endothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothermic_process

    The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases or "gives out" energy, usually in the form of heat and sometimes as electrical energy. [1] Thus, endo in endothermic refers to energy or heat going in, and exo in exothermic refers to energy or heat going out. In each term (endothermic and exothermic) the prefix ...

  6. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    Van 't Hoff plot for an endothermic reaction. For an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed, making the net enthalpy change positive. Thus, according to the definition of the slope: =, When the reaction is endothermic, Δ r H > 0 (and the gas constant R > 0), so

  7. Hammond's postulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond's_postulate

    For example, in an exothermic reaction the transition state is closer in energy to the reactants than to the products. Therefore, the transition state will be more geometrically similar to the reactants than to the products. In contrast, however, in an endothermic reaction the transition state is closer in energy to the products than to the ...

  8. Thermodynamic versus kinetic reaction control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_versus...

    The reaction starting with [4+2] cycloaddition of CF 3 C≡CCF 3 at one of the furan moieties occurs in a concerted fashion via TS1 and represents the rate limiting step of the whole process with the activation barrier ΔG ‡ ≈ 23.1–26.8 kcal/mol. Gibbs free energy profile for the reaction between bis-dienes 3a-c and hexafluoro

  9. Reaction coordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_coordinate

    Diagram of a catalytic reaction, showing the energy level as a function of the reaction coordinate. For a catalyzed reaction, the activation energy is lower. In chemistry , a reaction coordinate [ 1 ] is an abstract one-dimensional coordinate chosen to represent progress along a reaction pathway.
