This method is used to locate phase transitions via measurements of the endothennic enthalpy of phase transition. Details of the teclmique are provided elsewhere [25, 58]. Typically, the enthalpy change associated with transitions between liquid crystal phases or from a liquid crystal phase to the isotropic phase is much smaller than the melting enthalpy. Nevertheless, it is possible to locate such transitions with a commercial DSC, since typical enthalpies are... 

These techniques help in providing the following information specific heat, enthalpy changes, heat of transformation, crystallinity, melting behavior, evaporation, sublimation, glass transition, thermal decomposition, depolymerization, thermal stability, content analysis, chemical reactions/polymerization linear expansion, coefficient, and Young s modulus, etc. 

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). 

In series with a constant entropy, reactivity is controlled by enthalpy changes. The interpretation is usually based on electronic effects (12-14), which do not affect the form of the transition state, but only bond strengths (116). 

Although there are other ways, one of the most convenient and rapid ways to measure AH is by differential scanning calorimetry. When the temperature is reached at which a phase transition occurs, heat is absorbed, so more heat must flow to the sample in order to keep the temperature equal to that of the reference. This produces a peak in the endothermic direction. If the transition is readily reversible, cooling the sample will result in heat being liberated as the sample is transformed into the original phase, and a peak in the exothermic direction will be observed. The area of the peak is proportional to the enthalpy change for transformation of the sample into the new phase. Before the sample is completely transformed into the new phase, the fraction transformed at a specific temperature can be determined by comparing the partial peak area up to that temperature to the total area. That fraction, a, determined as a function of temperature can be used as the variable for kinetic analysis of the transformation. 

Time resolution of the enthalpy changes is often possible and depends on a number of experimental parameters, such as the characteristics of the transducer (oscillation frequency and relaxation time) and the acoustic transit time of the system, za, which can be defined by ra = r0/ua where r0 is the radius of the irradiated sample, and va is the speed of sound in the liquid. The observed voltage response of the transducer, V (t) is given by the convolution of the time-dependent heat source, H (t) and the instrument response function,... 

The enthalpy that accompanies a change of physical state at standard conditions is called the standard enthalpy of transition and is denoted A trsH°. Enthalpy changes accompanying chemical reactions at standard conditions are in general termed standard enthalpies of reaction and denoted A r H0. Two simple examples are given in Table 1.3. In general, from the first law, the standard enthalpy of a reaction is given by... 

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... 

The variation of the phase transition temperature with pressure can be calculated from the knowledge of the volume and enthalpy change of the transition. Most often both the entropy and volume changes are positive and the transition temperature increases with pressure. In other cases, notably melting of ice, the density of the liquid phase is larger than of the solid, and the transition temperature decreases... 

As seen in Table 2, A//yS = 9.42 kcal mol-1 and AAxS = 13.9 e.u., and so the free energy of transition state stabilization (approximately 5 kcal mol-1) results from a favourable enthalpy change, partly offset by an unfavourable entropy change. A similar situation pertains to binding of the substrate also (Table 2). Thus, the similarity between transition state binding and substrate binding, pointed out above from the correlation of p/fTS with pKs, is evident in thermodynamic parameters as well. 

For each of the phase transitions, there is an associated enthalpy change or heat of transition. For example, there are heats of vaporization, fusion, sublimation, and so on.

The van t Hoff plots for thermal denaturation of proteins are linear in the transition region, thus allowing the enthalpy change (AHm) of unfolding at the transition temperature (Tm) to be estimated. Because of the change in free energy in (AG) = 0 at Tm (reversible process), the entropy of unfolding (ASm) at the transition midpoint can be calculated from ... 

Since surface pressure is a free energy term, the energies and entropies of first-order phase transitions in the monolayer state may be calculated from the temperature dependence of the ir-A curve using the two-dimensional analog of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation (59), where AH is the molar enthalpy change at temperature T and AA is the net change in molar area ... 

The enthalpy change for the transition from graphite to diamond is an essential item of information in calculation of the conditions for the geological and industrial production of diamonds. 

At atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa), a quartz is in equilibrium with (3 quartz at 847 + 1.5K [8]. The enthalpy change of the transition from a quartz to (3 quartz is 728 + 167 J mol Berger et al. [9] measured the volume change by an X-ray diffraction method, and they reported a value of 0.154 + 0.015 cm mol Use these values to calculate the slope at atmospheric pressure of the equilibrium curve between a quartz and 3 quartz in Figure 13.1. Compare your results with the value of the pressure derivative of the equilibrium temperature dT/dP, which is equal to 0.21 K (Mpa) [10].
