  2. Enthalpy–entropy compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpyentropy...

    In thermodynamics, enthalpyentropy 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 ...

  3. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    Each linear fit has a different slope and intercept, which indicates different changes in enthalpy and entropy for each distinct mechanisms. The Van 't Hoff plot can be used to find the enthalpy and entropy change for each mechanism and the favored mechanism under different temperatures.

  4. Fundamental thermodynamic relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_thermodynamic...

    The relation is generally expressed as a microscopic change in internal energy in terms of microscopic changes in entropy, and volume for a closed system in thermal equilibrium in the following way. d U = T d S − P d V {\displaystyle \mathrm {d} U=T\,\mathrm {d} S-P\,\mathrm {d} V\,}

  5. Enthalpy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

    Enthalpy (/ ˈ ɛ n θ əl p i / ⓘ) is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function in thermodynamics used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

  6. Partition function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function...

    There are multiple approaches to deriving the partition function. The following derivation follows the more powerful and general information-theoretic Jaynesian maximum entropy approach. According to the second law of thermodynamics, a system assumes a configuration of maximum entropy at thermodynamic equilibrium.

    Flow chart showing the paths between the Maxwell relations. P {\displaystyle P} is pressure, T {\displaystyle T} temperature, V {\displaystyle V} volume, S {\displaystyle S} entropy, α {\displaystyle \alpha } coefficient of thermal expansion , κ {\displaystyle \kappa } compressibility , C V {\displaystyle C_{V}} heat capacity at constant ...

  8. Entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

    A definition of entropy based entirely on the relation of adiabatic accessibility between equilibrium states was given by E. H. Lieb and J. Yngvason in 1999. [70] This approach has several predecessors, including the pioneering work of Constantin Carathéodory from 1909 [71] and the monograph by R. Giles. [72]

  9. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

    Entropy cannot be measured directly. The change in entropy with respect to pressure at a constant temperature is the same as the negative change in specific volume with respect to temperature at a constant pressure, for a simple compressible system. Maxwell relations in thermodynamics are often used to derive thermodynamic relations. [2]
