One can add reverse reactions to the parallel reaction model to illustrate what chemists refer to as kinetic and thermodynamic reaction control. Often a reactant A can form two (or more) products, one of which (B) is formed rapidly (the kinetic product) and another (C) which forms more slowly (the thermodynamic...

Sigma-bond metathesis at hypovalent metal centers Thermodynamically, reaction of H2 with a metal-carbon bond to produce new C—H and M—H bonds is a favorable process. If the metal has a lone pair available, a viable reaction pathway is initial oxidative addition of H2 to form a metal alkyl dihydride, followed by stepwise reductive elimination (the microscopic reverse of oxidative addition) of alkane. On the other hand, hypovalent complexes lack the... 

Quickly, it became clear that iridium and rhodium do not cleanly fit the Chalk-Harrod mechanism as does platinum. For electron-rich silanes and relatively unhindered terminal alkynes, the major product is the (Z)-vinylsi-lane (Scheme 3, B) from apparent unusual trans-addition to the alkyne.22 This observation was followed by important and confusing discoveries. First, rhodium, under appropriate conditions, will catalyze the isomerization of the (Z)-vinylsilane product B to the (ft)-vinylsilane product A.23 Second, rhodium can also catalyze the reverse, contra-thermodynamic reaction of the (ft)-vinylsilane A to the (Z)-vinylsilane B.24... 

Thermodynamics. Reaction conditions and catalyst surface properties can control carbon formation on the catalyst surface. The most important reaction conditions that affect carbon formation are temperature and feed compositions (steam/carbon (S/C) and oxygen/carbon (O/C) ratios).

H bET and // are the thermodynamic reaction enthalpies associated with the fast and slow kinetic components, respectively, determined by photoacoustic spectroscopy. 

A combined application of direct calorimetric measurements and thermochemical investigations has made possible to obtain a number of important thermochemical quantities characterizing the interaction of the N—H bond of the amine with the epoxy ring 53). Combustion and evaporation enthalpies of phenylglycidyl ether and its condensation products with aniline and butylamine have been determined. Standard enthalpies of the formation of these compounds, strain energies of the epoxy ring in the phenylglycidyl ether molecule and — AH values for the three-phase states, which are most important for the determination of the true thermodynamic reaction characteristics, have been estimated. 

The reaction can be truly adiabatic for a wide range of experimental conditions. It initiates in the kinetic region and reaches a limit of 94-96 % conversion, which corresponds to the topological limit for these systems 5>14, l617-5169). The reaction kinetics is well described by the adopted mechanism 51,69 and the resulting experimental kinetic and thermodynamic reaction parameters are similar to those obtained in isothermal experiments. 

The chemical effect of high pressure is to stimulate the selectivity and the rate of reaction together with better product properties and quality as well as improved economy. This is based on better physico-chemical and thermodynamic reaction conditions such as density, activation volume, chemical equilibria, concentration and phase situation. Many successful reactions are basically enhanced by catalysis. 

The thermodynamic reaction equilibrium constant K, is only a function of temperature. In Equation 4.18, m, the activity of the guest in the vapor phase, is equal to the fugacity of the pure component divided by that at the standard state, normally 1 atm. The fugacity of the pure vapor is a function of temperature and pressure, and may be determined through the use of a fugacity coefficient. The method also assumes that an, the activity of the hydrate, is essentially constant at a given temperature regardless of the other phases present. 

The interconversion of nitritopentamminecobalt (III) chloride to nitropentamminecobalt (III) chloride was also studied by Willson (8). Using isothermal microcalorimetry, estimates for the rate constant of interconversion and the thermodynamic reaction parameters were obtained directly, at 25°C, by fitting the data to the transformed Ng equation. The published...

The vapor-phase, high-space-velocity oxidation to the thermodynamic reaction products should be contrasted with kinetically controlled oxidation of chemical feedstocks when the active metal is purposely poisoned or the surface area reduced.
