The free enthalpy of formation of this sodium iron double oxide was estimated to be AH = —9.2 kJ mol at 600 °V. This low value indicates that the compound can only be formed in an oxygen solution in sodium, the chemical activity of which is close to unity. The standard free enthalpy of combination of the constituent oxides was measured by solution calorimetry ...

Equation (5-43) has the practical advantage over Eq. (5-40) that the partition functions in (5-40) are difficult or impossible to evaluate, whereas the presence of the equilibrium constant in (5-43) permits us to introduce the well-developed ideas of thermodynamics into the kinetic problem. We define the quantities AG, A//, and A5 as, respectively, the standard free energy of activation, enthalpy of activation, and entropy of activation from thermodynamics we now can write...

Here, the decrease of the free enthalpy of activation for process (9) is attributed to an increase in N-basicity of the porphyrin ligands from [36a] to [36h]. However, the standard deviations of the AG values for [36c-36f] would also allow a different ordering of these four complexes. Although not proven by equilibrium measurements, the (TRP) ligands are always regarded as less basic than the (OEP) ligand (131, 135). 

It follows, in general, that the standard chemical potential p) of a chemical compound i corresponds to the free enthalpy of formation for one mole of the compound substance i at the standard state, the value of which is tabulated in chemical handbooks as shown for a few compounds in Table 5.1. For ions in electrolytic solutions the chemical potential in their pure state can not be defined, but we may use the standard state of an ion in which the ionic activity is equal to unity (a, = 1) to define the unitary chemical potential of the ion as will be discussed in chapter 9. 

The standard state of a substance is a reference state that allows us to obtain relative values of such thermodynamic quantities as free energy, activity, enthalpy, and entropy. All substances are assigned unit activity in their standard state. For gases, the standard state has the properties of an ideal gas, but at one atmosphere pressure. It is thus said to be a hypothetical state. For pure liquids and solvents, the standard states are real states and are the pure substances at a specified temperature and pressure. For solutes In dilute solution, the standard state is a hypothetical state that has the properties of an infinitely dilute solute, but at unit concentration (molarity, molality, or mole fraction). The standard state of a solid is a real state and is the pure solid in its most stable crystalline form. 

In order to probe the possible influence of aromatic residues on internal ET, an investigation was initiated on single-site azurin mutants in which Trp48 had been substituted by other amino acids, with both aromatic and nonaromatic side chains. In the experiments, the rate constants for intramolecular ET were determined as a function of temperature (23). The results are set out in Table I together with the standard free energies of reaction (AG°), the activation enthalpy (A// ) and activation entropy (AS ). It is clear that substitution of... 

Standard states are either stated or implied in any quantitative discussion or tabulation of free energies, enthalpies, internal energies, or activities, but the following discussion will be based on the use of standard states for activities because of the much wider range of possibilities encountered. Standard states for tabulated free energies, etc. generally do not get any more complicated than the cases already dealt with in Chapter 7. 

Energies in kcal mol unrelaxed HF/6-31G(d) geometries the total contribution (TOT ) to the activation free enthalpy is due to the cavitation+solute/solvent dispersion+solvent structural rearrangement term (CDS ) and to the electronic+nuclear- polarization term (ENP ) in the AMSOL model in the Tomasi model CDR is the cavitation-rdispersion+repulsion term and ELEC is the electrostatic contribution ab initio calculations are standard HF/6-31G(d). 

Free enthalpy, according to Equation (1.55), depends on temperature and pjp° ratio. The ratio of partial pressures of the component i in the solution and in its standard state is called thermodynamic concentration, or relative activity, and more often simply activity. Then free enthalpy and chemical potential of the component i under nonstandard conditions are calculated from ... 

However, it is customary to express the concentration of electrolytes in water solutions not in molar fractions but in molalities. That is why standard potential of free enthalpy for dissolved electrolytes is determined at the concentration 1 mole per 1 kg of solvent, and their relative activity is... 

Therefore, under relaxation conditions the composition of components of the reaction j changes until it reaches some minimum free enthalpy, which is equal AZ only under standard conditions. For convenience of use, this value is expressed in terms of the product of activities, which the reaction participants have at equilibrium under standard conditions. Indeed, in case of equilibrium under standard conditions all reaction components must be tied by the unique value of their activities product, which is called thermodynamic standard equilibrium constant of the reaction. For this reason... 

It is necessary to take into account that in water solutions under standard conditions all activities are assumed equal to 1 and the concentration is expressed in molality (1 mole kg of the solvent). But in a case when proton H+ participates in the reaction, often, especially in biochemistry, even for standard conditions is used its concentration corresponding to pH = 7. Then free enthalpy of proton AZ° + is assumed equal not to 0 but to 2.3-J T-loglO = -9.534 kcal-mole = 39.917 kj-mole (Thauer etal, 1977). 

Standard free energies, enthalpies and entropies are important because they relate only to solvent-solute interactions. Activity coefficients are of interest since they relate to the departure of the system from ideal conditions. 

The difference between the chemical activities of the solute i is the precaution for its diffusional transport through the separation membrane. The free enthalpy AG of diffusion can be calculated from the difference between the chemical potentials A RiD solute i in the acceptor (A) and donor solution (D), respectively (eqn [1]). and u°a ate the standard chemical potentials,... 

The quantity that appears in the argument of the exponential at the numerator is the molar free enthalpy of reaction of the reaction intermediate that is identified with the molar activation energy Eg and with the opposite of the standard chemical potential pf. The pre-exponential term is the intrinsic rate constant /(° that is equal to the scaling chmical potential ju divided by the Avogadro constant and by the Planck constant h or what amounts to the same, by dividing numerator and denominator by to keep only the Boltzmann constant (the values of these constants are given in Appendix 2).
