SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential combustion of diphosphate and oxygen at approximately 40 degrees Celsius. Participants emphasize the importance of determining the enthalpy of formation to assess whether the reaction is exothermic. The standard Gibbs equation is highlighted as a crucial tool for evaluating the reaction's feasibility at the specified temperature. Understanding these concepts is essential for predicting the behavior of the reaction under the given conditions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of enthalpy of formation
  • Familiarity with the standard Gibbs equation
  • Basic knowledge of exothermic reactions
  • Concept of entropy in thermodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the enthalpy of formation for diphosphate
  • Study the standard Gibbs equation and its applications
  • Learn about exothermic and endothermic reactions
  • Explore the concept of entropy and its role in chemical reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in thermodynamics and chemical reactions, particularly those exploring combustion processes.

If you were to introduce diphosphate and oxygen to one another at apporx 40 degrees celsius, would they combust instantaneously?

Try to find the enthalphy of formation to see if it is exothermic. To see if this reaction proceeds at the temperature you indicated process this information into the standard Gibbs equation which includes standard change of enthalphy and entropy with the temperature variable as well. Hope this helps.

Sorry, you lost me totally. I'm only 15 years old and haven't had any formal chemistry training, so I've no idea what gibbs equation is at all...
 

Thread 'Gold hydride - what is the significance?'

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
