Energy in reactions

Excess energy in Reaction (75) would not be readily accommodated in the translational degrees of freedom available.

Most calculations " have considered the interaction of unsubstituted borane and ethylene. They suggest the likely formation of a loose three-center complex, which then reorganizes to a four-center transition state with little or no activation energy. The experimental evidence shows, however, that there may be significant activation energies in reactions of some hindered alkenes with substituted boranes. ... 

There are two methods of indicating energy in reaction equations ... 

The first equation shows the amount of thermal heat in the sequence of reacting substances and could tempt the students to associate a type of heat matter in the reaction. The second equation clearly separates the substances from the energy by using a semicolon the involved energy is indicated qualitatively through the terms exothermic or AH < 0 , or they are quantitatively depicted in kJ per kg or in kJ per mol. The mixing of matter and energy in reaction symbols does not take place this way - and thus neither in the minds of the students. 

Single-collision beam experiments using state-selected reactants (the TESICO method and its variants, as mentioned above) provide detailed data mostly for hyperthermal collision energies. In reactions of hydrogen ions with rare gases, the chemical reactions... 

It is easy to measure this free energy in reactions that transfer electrons, since these electrons can be harnessed to give an electric current. The power of an electric current to do work depends upon the voltage (or electro-motive force) imder which it is produced, and electromotive force can be very exactly measured. Suppose we want to know the free energy of the reaction... 

Glucose is converted via a series of enzyme catalyzed reactions to carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy in reactions that overall are exothermic. The energy is used in driving movement, and also in reactions that build up molecular stmctures. The excess heat leaves the system by thermal conduction and convection.
