Total contribution of short-range non-electrostatic solute-solvent interactions Gibbs free energy barrier in aqueous solution calculated as the AG(gas) value plus the electrostatic solvent shift determined by the SVPE calculation, without or with the non-electrostatic contributions determined by the PCM calculation... 

The reaction coordinate calculations [100] confirmed the mechanistic hypothesis depicted in Scheme 1, i.e., the entire chemical reaction process consists of four individual steps (ES TSl INTI TS2 INT2 TS3 INT3 TS4 EB). The calculated energy barriers (A a) and Gibbs free energy barriers (AGa) are summarized in Table 3.

Table A4.6 gives the internal rotation contributions to the heat capacity, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy as a function of the rotational barrier V. It is convenient to tabulate the contributions in terms of VjRTagainst 1/rf, where f is the partition function for free rotation [see equation (10.141)]. For details of the calculation, see Section 10.7c.

To see how the catalyst accelerates the reaction, we need to look at the potential energy diagram in Fig. 1.2, which compares the non-catalytic and the catalytic reaction. For the non-catalytic reaction, the figure is simply the familiar way to visualize the Arrhenius equation the reaction proceeds when A and B collide with sufficient energy to overcome the activation barrier in Fig. 1.2. The change in Gibbs free energy between the reactants, A -r B, and the product P is AG.

The situation for three characteristic temperatures is shown (B = barrier height, ZPE = zero-point energy, 28 = asymmetry parameter, J = electronic coupling parameter, AG° = Gh — GJ...

Chemical models of photosynthesis have been used to investigate two types of reactions photosynthesis and photocatalysis. In photosynthetic processes the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is positive, and solar energy is utilized to perform work. In photocatalytic processes the free energy is negative and solar energy is used to overcome the activation barrier. 

Figure 7,8 Gibbs free energy curves and T-X phase relations for an intermediate compound (C), totally immiscible with pure components. Column 1 Gibbs free energy relations leading to formation of two eutectic minima separated by a thermal barrier. Column 2 energy relations of a peritectic reaction (incongruent melting). To facilitate interpretation of phase stability fields, pure crystals of components 1 and 2 coexisting with crystals C are labeled y and y", respectively, in T-X diagrams same notation identifies mechanical mixtures 2-C and C-1 in G-X plots.

Vq is the frequency of the small oscillation, and AG and AS are, respectively, the difference in Gibbs free energy and entropy of the adatom at the saddle point and the equilibrium adsorption site. Ed is the activation energy of surface diffusion, or the barrier height of the atomic jumps.
