Dynamic Equilibrium02:20

Dynamic Equilibrium

61.0K
A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport

1.0K
Pore transport and ion-pair formation are critical mechanisms for the absorption and distribution of drugs in the body.
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited  but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...

Ion Exchange01:17

Ion Exchange

1.1K
Ion exchange chromatography separates charged molecules from a solution by reversibly exchanging them with mobile, or 'active', ions associated with the oppositely charged stationary phase. This method can be used to separate ions, soften and deionize water, and purify solutions. The polymers comprising the ion-exchange column are high-molecular-weight and chemically stable polymers, crosslinked to be porous and essentially insoluble. They are also functionalized with either acidic or...

Extraction: Partition and Distribution Coefficients01:14

Extraction: Partition and Distribution Coefficients

4.5K
The distribution law or Nernst's distribution law is the law that governs the distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents. This law, also known as the partition law, states that if a solute is added to the mixture of two immiscible solvents at a constant temperature, the solute is distributed between the two solvents in such a way that the ratio of solute concentrations in the solvents remains constant at equilibrium.
For extracting a solute from an aqueous phase into an...

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing02:39

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing

14.4K
Heating a crystalline solid increases the average energy of its atoms, molecules, or ions, and the solid gets hotter. At some point, the added energy becomes large enough to partially overcome the forces holding the molecules or ions of the solid in their fixed positions, and the solid begins the process of transitioning to the liquid state or melting. At this point, the temperature of the solid stops rising, despite the continual input of heat, and it remains constant until all of the solid is...

Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:

Area of Science:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Confinement significantly alters thermodynamic properties of systems.
  • Understanding these changes is crucial for accurate modeling of porous media.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply Hill's thermodynamic analysis to describe two-phase equilibrium in nanopores.
  • To investigate the behavior of integral and differential pressures within confined systems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized molecular dynamics simulations to compute integral pressure (p^) and differential pressure (p).
  • Employed a growing-core methodology for data analysis.
  • Validated bulk pressure using Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that integral pressure remains constant along a slit pore with liquid-vapor equilibrium.
  • Confirmed that the subdivision potential (ϵ) divided by volume (V) scales inversely with pore width.
  • Integral pressure acts as the average tangential pressure within the pore.

Conclusions:

  • Integral pressure is a constant property along the pore under specific equilibrium conditions.
  • The derived scaling law (ϵ/V ∝ 1/pore width) aids in predicting thermodynamic behavior in confined systems.
  • Findings are applicable to more complex porous media geometries.
