Energy level diagram of a chemical reaction

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on deriving the energy level diagram for the reaction involving 4B, 2LiNO3, and C to produce B4C, 2LiNO2, and O2. The key components of the energy level diagram include the reactants, products, and transition states. One participant clarifies that while they are not familiar with transition states, they suggest that the enthalpy of the reaction can be calculated by determining the heat of formation for boron carbide and adding it to the enthalpy change associated with the disproportionation of lithium nitrate to nitrite.

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.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
