Energies of formation

A general prerequisite for the existence of a stable interface between two phases is that the free energy of formation of the interface be positive were it negative or zero, fluctuations would lead to complete dispersion of one phase in another. As implied, thermodynamics constitutes an important discipline within the general subject. It is one in which surface area joins the usual extensive quantities of mass and volume and in which surface tension and surface composition join the usual intensive quantities of pressure, temperature, and bulk composition. The thermodynamic functions of free energy, enthalpy and entropy can be defined for an interface as well as for a bulk portion of matter. Chapters II and ni are based on a rich history of thermodynamic studies of the liquid interface. The phase behavior of liquid films enters in Chapter IV, and the electrical potential and charge are added as thermodynamic variables in Chapter V.

First, we would like to ehange the reference state from the isolated nuelei and eleetions to the elements in their standard states, C(graphite) and H2(g) at 298 K. This leads to the energy of formation at 0 K AfEo, whieh is identieal to the enthalpy of formation AfHo at 0 K. The energy and enthalpy are identieal only at 0 K. Next we would like to know the enthalpy ehange on heating propene from 0 to 298 K so as to obtain the enthalpy of formation from the isolated nuelei and eleetions elements This we will eonvert to from the elements in their standard...

We now know the energy of the propene thermodynamic state (propene(g)) relative to the state 3 C(g) and 6 11(g) and the energy of the therrnodynarnie standard state of the elements relative to the same state 3 C(g) and 6 11(g)). which is opposite in sign to the summed energies of formation of 3 C(g) and (i IKg). The energy differenee between these thennodynamie states is...
