Thermochemistry energy changes

The reaction between OH and phenol lends itself to an analysis of its thermochemistry. On the basis of E7( OH) = 2.3V/NHE and E7(PhO ) = 0.97 V/NHE [42], the formation of PhO and H2O via an electron-transfer mechanism is exothermic byl.33V = 31 kcal mor In spite of this, the reaction proceeds by addition, as outlined in Eq. 24. Again, the propensity of OH to add rather than to oxidize can be understood in terms of the transition state for addition being stabilized by contributions from bond making, in contrast to electron transfer which requires pronounced bond and solvent reorganization which results in a large (entropy-caused) free energy change.

Thermochemistry is an important part of explosive chemistry it provides information on the type of chemical reactions, energy changes, mechanisms and kinetics which occur when a material undergoes an explosion. This chapter will carry out theoretical thermochemical calculations on explosive parameters, but it must be noted that the results obtained by such calculations will not always agree with those obtained experimentally, since experimental results will vary according to the conditions employed.

Baldwin, Walker and Brewery [68] showed that both the experimental and the derived activation energies are reasonably consistent with the thermochemistry and the Arrhenius parameters of the reverse reactions. In particular, they showed that for the homolysis of trimethylbutyl radicals there is a very good correlation between log/c at 753 K and AU, the internal energy change (Fig. 1.9). Although the data are limited, for the other radicals the rate constant and Arrhenius parameters for homolysis fit a common pattern when allowance is made for the strain energy in all the species involved. Hence, for the homolysis. 

The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction in which all reactants and products are in their standard states and at a specified temperature is called the standard enthalpy (written AFf°) for that reaction. The standard enthalpy is the central tool in thermochemistry because it provides a systematic means for comparing the energy changes due to bond rearrangements in different reactions. Standard enthalpies can be calculated from tables of reference data. For this purpose, we need one additional concept. The standard enthalpy of formation AH° of a compound is defined to be the enthalpy change for the reaction that produces 1 mol of the compound from its elements in their stable states, all at 25°C and 1 atm pressure. For example, the standard enthalpy of formation of liquid water is the enthalpy change for the reaction... 

Tables of AH° for compounds are the most important data source for thermochemistry. From them it is easy to calculate AH° for reactions of the compounds, and thereby systematically compare the energy changes due to bond rearrangements in different reactions. Appendix D gives a short table of standard enthalpies of formation at 25°C. The following example shows how they can be used to determine enthalpy changes for reactions performed at 25°C and 1 atm pressure.
