Energy level diagram of a chemical reaction

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the energy level diagram for the chemical reaction involving 4B + 2LiNO3 → B4C + 2LiNO2 + O2. Key components include the reactants, products, and transition states, with an emphasis on calculating the enthalpy of reaction. The enthalpy can be simplified by determining the heat of formation for boron carbide (B4C) and adding it to the enthalpy change associated with the disproportionation of lithium nitrate (LiNO3) to lithium nitrite (LiNO2).

PREREQUISITES
  • Chemical thermodynamics
  • Understanding of enthalpy and heat of formation
  • Knowledge of reaction mechanisms
  • Familiarity with transition states in chemical reactions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the heat of formation for boron carbide (B4C)
  • Study the disproportionation reaction of lithium nitrate (LiNO3)
  • Learn about transition state theory in chemical kinetics
  • Explore energy level diagrams and their applications in reaction mechanisms
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, chemical engineers, and researchers interested in reaction thermodynamics and energy diagrams.

TL;DR
I was wondering if the energy level diagram of the below chemical reaction has been derived?

Voltage Applied

4B+2LiNO3+C ------------->B4C+2LiNO2+O2
Hi

For a personal project, has the energy level diagram of the below reaction been derived? Voltage Applied4B+2LiNO3+C ------------->B4C+2LiNO2+O2

Thanks,

What exactly do you mean by “energy level diagram?” Reactants, products, and transition state? Or something else?
 
Hi

Thanks for that.

Reactants,Products and Transition rates.

Thanks.

Sorry,

transitions States
 
I don’t know about the transition state, but the enthalpy of reaction can be simplified to finding the heat of formation of boron carbide and adding it to the enthalpy for the disproportionation of lithium nitrate to nitrite.
