Chemical energy, defined

Electrochemical power sources convert chemical energy into electrical energy. At least two reaction partners undergo a chemical process during operation. The energy of this reaction is available as electric current at a defined voltage and time [1]. 

The real energy of ion solvation, af, defined by Eq. (2), expresses the change in ion energy upon its transfer from a gas phase into a solution. Unlike the chemical energy of solvation, psi, the value of the real energy of solvation, also in the standard state, can be calculated from experimental data using the formula, e.g., for the hydration of the cation ... 

The change in Gibbs s free energy (defined, as stated, for a system at constant pressure and temperature) when a moles of A and b moles of B are converted into c moles of C and d moles of D is AG = cpc +dpD - apA - bpB, where p represent chemical potentials , i.e. free energy per mole of the substances, defined in terms of concentration of a component X as... 

A battery is defined as a device for converting chemical energy into electrical energy. A battery is therefore an electrochemical cell that spontaneously produces a current when the two electrodes are connected externally by a conductor. The conductor will be the sea in the example of the eel above, or will more typically be a conductive... 

The thermal efficiency of an energy conversion device is defined as the amount of useful energy produced relative to the change in stored chemical energy (commonly referred to as thermal energy) that is released when a fuel is reacted with an oxidant. 

Chemical work and chemical energy are defined in an analogous way. The intensity factor here is the chemical potential of a molecule or combination of molecules. This is stated as free enthalpy G (also known as Gibbs free energy ). When molecules spontaneously react with one another, the result is products at lower potential. The difference in the chemical potentials of the educts and products (the change in free enthalpy, AC) is a measure of the driving force of the reaction. The capacity factor in chemical work is... 

Within the kinetic and thermodynamic limitations on the conversion of light energy to chemical energy, I have shown that a reasonable efficiency goal would be 25 - 28% for conversion to electricity and 10 - 13% for storage as chemical energy. Five types of photochemical converters have been defined and described with examples where possible. 

The eq in this form is valid for a detonation and a deflagration, as well as for shock wave, if e and h.are defined in the usual sense To apply this eq to explosions, however, some authors add a term Q to represent chemical energy per unit mass, and write ... 

Thus, in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes a conversion of osmotic into chemical energy can most easily be demonstrated, and since the concentrations of all reactants are known at every moment, the energetics of the process is well defined. This reversibility is described by the following over all reaction (Table 9). 

The coherency strain energy introduces an additional barrier to spinodal decomposition, which causes a shift on the temperature-composition phase diagram of the chemical spinodal, defined by d2filom/dc% = 0, to the coherent spinodal, defined by... 

FREE ENERGY CHANGE. The change in the Gibbs free energy lor a chemical reaction, defined as... 

An elementary reaction is in classical chemical kinetics defined under conditions where energy transfer among the molecules in the reaction scheme or with surrounding solvent molecules can take place. In this case, we write... 

The total protonation energy, defined as the difference, AE, between the total energy of the non-protonated molecule and that of its conjugated acid was analyzed via theoretical quantum chemical calculations. It was considered that this energy could be split into three additive contributions, electronic (Ae), electrostatic (AZ elst) and polarization (A p0lar). An increase was observed on going from carbon to silicon that was attributed mainly to the difference in the respective polarizabilities of carbon and silicon atoms.34,35... 

Several processes involving the continuous feeding in activated reactants supplying chemical energy have been proposed to lead to the emergence of proto-metabolisms (otherwise called chemo-metabolisms), defined as a sequence of thermodynamically favorable chemical reactions (usually cyclic) through which more evolved species could have been produced, and that could have been the starting point from which life developed.
