On the Geometrical Thermodynamics of Chemical Reactions

Abstract. The formal structure of geometrical thermodynamics is reviewed with particular emphasis on the geometry of equilibria submanifolds. On these submanifolds thermodynamic metrics are defined as the Hessian of thermodynamic potentials. Links between geometry and thermodynamics are explored for single and multiple component, closed and open systems. For single component, closed thermodynam...

Chemical salt reactions as algebraic hyperstructures

A salt metathesis reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species, which results in the creation of products with similar or identical bonding affiliations. Hyperstructure theory is studied from the theoretical point of view and for its applications. In this paper, we provide some examples of hyperstructures associated with salt m...

Reaction efficiency effects on binary chemical reactions.

We study the effect of the variation of reaction efficiency in binary reactions. We use the well-known A + B → 0 model, which has been extensively studied in the past. We perform simulations on this model where we vary the efficiency of reaction, i.e., when two particles meet they do not instantly react, as has been assumed in previous studies, but they react with a probability γ, where γ is in...

On New Chemical Reactions of Polymers

INTRODUCTION Three major areas of work present themselves to a chemist who is concerned with polymer materials namely: synthesis and degradation of polymers; structure analysis of natural and synthetic polymers; and chemical transformations of polymers. Although these three fields are very closely related,. I wish to concern myself only with the last of them. Reactions with natural or synthetic...
