Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate02:55

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate

89.2K
The Collision Theory
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...

Body Temperature01:25

Body Temperature

4.9K
The body's temperature, measured in degrees, is determined by the balance between heat production and dissipation to the surrounding environment. For instance, if exercising vigorously, the body will produce more heat, causing sweat and dissipating that heat. Despite extreme environmental conditions and physical exertion, the human temperature-control system maintains a constant core body temperature (the temperature of deep tissues, which are the tissues located beneath the skin and other...

Body Temperature

1.5K
Body temperature reflects the equilibrium between heat production and heat loss within the body. Most heat is generated by metabolically active tissues, particularly the liver, heart, brain, kidneys, and endocrine organs. At rest, skeletal muscles contribute 20–30% of total heat production, but during vigorous exercise, this can increase up to 30–40 times.
The average body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F) and typically ranges from 36.1–37.2°C...

Effects of Temperature on Free Energy02:11

Effects of Temperature on Free Energy

28.4K
The spontaneity of a process depends upon the temperature of the system. Phase transitions, for example, will proceed spontaneously in one direction or the other depending upon the temperature of the substance in question. Likewise, some chemical reactions can also exhibit temperature-dependent spontaneities. To illustrate this concept, the equation relating free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes for the process is considered:

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

7.5K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Area of Science:

  • Organometallic Chemistry
  • Synthetic Organic Chemistry
  • Phosphorus Chemistry

Background:

  • Phosphanorcaradienes are strained, reactive phosphorus-containing heterocycles.
  • Their synthesis and reactivity are crucial for understanding novel reaction pathways.

  • To synthesize a room-temperature-stable crystalline phosphanorcaradiene.
  • To investigate its photochemical and catalytic transformations.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis via demetalation of a phosphepine-gold complex using Lewis bases.
  • Photolysis to generate phosphirenes.
  • Ruthenium-catalyzed equilibration of phosphanorcaradiene and phosphirene.
  • Two-step transformation involving cyclopropenylidene intermediates.

Main Results:

  • A stable crystalline phosphanorcaradiene (2) was successfully synthesized.
  • Photolysis of 2 yielded a 2H-phosphirene (4).
  • Ruthenium catalyst facilitated the interconversion of 2 and 4.
  • A two-step method for 2 to 4 transformation was established using cyclopropenylidene intermediates.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates a novel synthetic route to stable phosphanorcaradienes.
  • It reveals new photochemical and catalytic pathways for phosphanorcaradiene-phosphirene interconversion.
