Chemical reactions indications

A balanced chemical reaction indicates the quantitative relationships between the moles of reactants and products. These stoichiometric relationships provide the basis for many analytical calculations. Consider, for example, the problem of determining the amount of oxalic acid, H2C2O4, in rhubarb. One method for this analysis uses the following reaction in which we oxidize oxalic acid to CO2.

In addition to acting as a means of observing changes in pH in titrations and in chemical reactions, indicators have been used in the development of novel chemical indicating devices. 

We consider a change of state involving a chemical reaction indicated as I vkBk = 0, but with the condition that the state of each substance is set arbitrarily, and with the exception that the temperature of each substance must be the same. The change of the Gibbs energy for this change of state is given by...

A balanced equation for a chemical reaction indicates the substances present at the start of the reaction and those present at the end of the reaction. It provides no information, however, about the detailed steps that occur at the molecular level as the reactants are turned into products. The steps by which a reaction occurs is called the reaction mechanism. At the most sophisticated level, a reaction mechanism describes the order in which bonds are broken and formed and the changes in relative positions of the atoms in the course of the reaction. 

Also, there is no chemical reaction indicated in this process therefore, there is no generation or consumption of species A (va = 0). Based on the experience, we can anticipate that the convection contribution in the z-direction will be much larger than the diffusion contribution, that is. 

M " in the equation for a chemical reaction indicates any molecule that can take up excess energy that needs to be removed in order for the reaction to proceed. Thus, in the example given, the molecule M can collide with the OH and SO2 molecules and reduce their energies so that they can combine to form HOS02-... 

It is important to distinguish between the elementary steps of a mechanism, indicated in this text by and the overall chemical reaction, indicated by —This is illustrated in the two specific examples of well-established mechanisms outlined below. 

The coefficients of a chemical reaction indicate relative, not absolute, amounts of reactants and products. A chemical equation usually shows the smallest numbers of atoms, molecules, or ions that will satisfy the law of conservation of mass in a given chemical reaction. 

As with other forms of energy, the intensity factor of chemical energy — its chemical potential — determines the occurrence and direction of chemical processes. If the chemical potentials of the substances of a system, or of two bordering systems, have the same value, then the substances or systems are in chemical equilibrium. Differences of chemical intensity may be compensated by differences in other energetic intensities. The occurrence of chemical reactions indicates (and always presupposes) the presence of differences of chemical potential between the substances or systems taking part in the reaction. But it is not correct to say that whenever the chemical potentials of two substances or systems are different, then they will automatically react chemically. Again, such differences may be compensated by differences of intensity of other energies.
