Now we know something of the factors that affect equilibrium. Enthalpy change, AH, is important. Basically, the side of the equilibrium with the stronger bonds will be favored by enthalpy. Also important is the temperature-dependent entropy change, AS, term. The two terms may act in concert or oppose each other. 

If a heat capacity depends on temperature, the enthalpy changes for the first and third steps in the overall process are found by integration over temperature that is, J CpdT. For the given conditions of this problem, this needs to be done only for the product, ammonia, that is, for the third step however, a more complete treatment would, by the same means, take into account the temperature dependence of the heat capacities of nitrogen and hydrogen. 

Figure 1.4. Temperature dependence of the change in Gihhs energy, enthalpy and entropy upon transfer of ethane and butane from the gas phase to water. The data refer to transfer from the vapour phase at 0.101 MPa to a hypothetical solution of unit mole fraction and are taken from ref. 125.

For experiments conducted at constant pressure, the second term ia equation 36 disappears. The expression for the temperature dependence is then obtained by performing an indefinite integration on the remainder of the equation after assuming that the enthalpy change of volatilization, (/i. — hp ), is constant with respect to temperature. The resulting equation is... 

The sensitivity of the equilibrium constant to temperature, therefore, depends upon the enthalpy change AH . This is usually not a serious limitation, because most reaction enthalpies are sufficiently large and because we commonly require that the perturbation be a small one so that the linearization condition is valid. If AH is so small that the T-jump is ineffective, it may be possible to make use of an auxiliary reaction in the following way Suppose the reaction under study is an acid-base reaction with a small AH . We can add a buffer system having a large AH and apply the T-jump to the combined system. The T-jump will alter the Ka of the buffer reaction, resulting in a pH jump. The pH jump then acts as the forcing function on the reaction of interest. 

Enthalpy changes for biochemical processes can be determined experimentally by measuring the heat absorbed (or given off) by the process in a calorimeter (Figure 3.2). Alternatively, for any process B at equilibrium, the standard-state enthalpy change for the process can be determined from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant ... 

The free-energy change AG is made up of two terms, an enthalpy term, AH, and a temperature-dependent entropy term, TAS. Of the two terms, the enthalpy term is often larger and more dominant. 

The Arrhenius activation energy,3 obtained from the temperature dependence of the three-halves-order rate constant, is Ea = 201 kJ mol-1. This is considerably less than the standard enthalpy change for the homolysis of acetaldehyde, determined by the usual thermodynamic methods. That is, reaction (8-5) has AH = 345 kJ mol-1. At first glance, this disparity makes it seem as if dissociation of acetaldehyde could not be a predecessor step. Actually, however, the agreement is excellent when properly interpreted. 

In addition to chemical reactions, the isokinetic relationship can be applied to various physical processes accompanied by enthalpy change. Correlations of this kind were found between enthalpies and entropies of solution (20, 83-92), vaporization (86, 91), sublimation (93, 94), desorption (95), and diffusion (96, 97) and between the two parameters characterizing the temperature dependence of thermochromic transitions (98). A kind of isokinetic relationship was claimed even for enthalpy and entropy of pure substances when relative values referred to those at 298° K are used (99). Enthalpies and entropies of intermolecular interaction were correlated for solutions, pure liquids, and crystals (6). Quite generally, for any temperature-dependent physical quantity, the activation parameters can be computed in a formal way, and correlations between them have been observed for dielectric absorption (100) and resistance of semiconductors (101-105) or fluidity (40, 106). On the other hand, the isokinetic relationship seems to hold in reactions of widely different kinds, starting from elementary processes in the gas phase (107) and including recombination reactions in the solid phase (108), polymerization reactions (109), and inorganic complex formation (110-112), up to such biochemical reactions as denaturation of proteins (113) and even such biological processes as hemolysis of erythrocytes (114). 

Many workers have offered the opinion that the isokinetic relationship is confined to reactions in condensed phase (6, 122) or, more specially, may be attributed to solvation effects (13, 21, 37, 43, 56, 112, 116, 124, 126-130) which affect both enthalpy and entropy in the same direction. The most developed theories are based on a model of the half-specific quasi-crystalline solvation (129, 130), or of the nonideal conformal solutions (126). Other explanations have been given in terms of vibrational frequencies involving solute and solvent (13, 124), temperature dependence of solvent fluidity in the quasi-crystalline model (40), or changes of enthalpy and entropy to produce a hole in the solvent (87). 

As shown in Section 16-1. varies with temperature in a way that can be understood using the principles of thermod namics. Temperature is the only variable that causes a change In the value of. eq. The effect of temperature on depends on the enthalpy change of the reaction, ZlH. An increase in temperature always shifts the equilibrium position in the endothermic direction, and a decrease in temperature always shifts the equilibrium position in the exothermic direction. 

The binding enthalpy change (AH) could be determined either from the plots of the temperature dependence of the binding constant according to the van t Hoff relationship ... 

To evaluate the true temperature difference (driving force) in a mixed vapour condenser a condensation curve (temperature vs. enthalpy diagram) must be calculated showing the change in vapour temperature versus heat transferred throughout the condenser, Figure 12.48. The temperature profile will depend on the liquid-flow pattern in the condenser. There are two limiting conditions of condensate-vapour flow ...

All partitioning properties change with temperature. The partition coefficients, vapor pressure, KAW and KqA, are more sensitive to temperature variation because of the large enthalpy change associated with transfer to the vapor phase. The simplest general expression theoretically based temperature dependence correlation is derived from the integrated Clausius-Clapeyron equation, or van t Hoff form expressing the effect of temperature on an equilibrium constant Kp,... 

The temperature dependence of reaction enthalpies can be determined from the heat capacity of the reactants and products. When a substance is heated from T to T2 at a particular pressurep, assuming no phase transition is taking place, its molar enthalpy change from AHm (T]) to AHm (T2) is... 

Enthalpy changes of processes depend only on the end states. Normally the enthalpy change of reaction is known at some standard temperature, Tb = 298 K for instance. The simplest formulation of the heat balance, accordingly, is to consider the reaction to occur at this temperature, to transfer whatever heat is required and to raise the enthalpy of the reaction products to their final values. 

Writing the equation in this way tells us that if we know the enthalpy of the system, we also know the temperature dependence of G -i-T. Separating the variables and defining Gj as the Gibbs function change at Ti and similarly as the value of G2 at T2, yields... 

Enthalpy changes per mol of proton are given as calculated from temperature dependence or as measured microcalorimetrically. 

Anion Binding. This discussion illustrates how valuable information on enthalpy changes of surface reactions (either from temperature dependence or from direct calorimetric measurements) are. Zeltner et al. (1986) have studied calorimetrically the surface complex formation of phosphate and salicylate on goethite. They show that these reactions are exothermic (at pH = 4) with AHadS values at low coverage ( 10 %) of ca. -24 kJ mol 1, they argue tentatively that these values indicate biden-tate surface complex formation. They also show that -AH decreases with increasing surface coverage.
