  Inorganic chemistry - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the properties and reactions of inorganic compounds.
This includes all chemical compounds except the many which are based upon chains or rings of carbon atoms, which are termed organic compounds and are studied under the separate heading of organic chemistry.
There are four categories of inorganic chemical reactions: combination reactions, decomposition reactions, single displacement reactions, and double displacement reactions.

 [No title]
The reaction order, activation energy and frequency factor are determined from the relationship between the reaction rate, conversion and temeprature using the log of the kinetic equation and least square multiple linear regression of the data.
The former determines the reaction mechanism and the latter is established from the Arrhenius equation.
Otherwise the reaction rate at the beginning is slow and is followed by a rising rate that continues through a maximum sometime during the experiment.

 Types of Reactions
A combustion reaction is when all substances in a compound are combined with oxygen, which then produces carbon dioxide and water.
It is an exothermic reaction, which means heat is produced and is easily distinguished.
A synthesis reaction is when there is a combination of two or more substances and a compound results.

 EXPLOSIVES SCIENCE
With explosives and propellants, rapid decomposition reactions produce a thrust on the sample pan, causing erroneous mass measurements: the mass appears to increase as reactant decomposes.
Reaction rate and amount of reactant(s) are the fundamental data required for any kinetics study.
When mechanisms change during the course of a reaction, it is not valid to "linearize" the rate data for the entire process to obtain a single rate constant.

 Title page for ETD etd-51098-125940
The reaction sequence was found to involve two irreversible, kinetically significant steps: 1) dissociative adsorption of ozone to form a peroxide species and an atomic oxygen species, and 2) desorption of the peroxide intermediate.
The kinetic behavior of the peroxide species and the overall decomposition reaction were investigated to test the validity of the proposed sequence.
The oxidation reactivity was found to be closely related to that of ozone decomposition, suggesting an important role of ozone decomposition in the reaction mechanism.

 Catalysis
The catalytic force is reflected in the capacity that some substances have, by their mere presence and not by their own reactivity, to awaken activities that are slumbering in molecules at a given temperature.
This is the hallmark of a catalyst: participation in mechanism steps that simply do not exist without the catalyst, steps that (1) add together to reproduce the original net reaction and (2) make possible a new pathway to achieve the net reaction at often a significantly greater rate.
Other catalytic cycles are not so benign, such as the catalytic gas-phase reactions that accelerate the destruction of ozone in the stratosphere.

 D4. On the Mechanism of the Thermal Decomposition of Propylene
The thermal decomposition of propene has been the subject of numerous studies, and the most important features of the reaction seem to be well established.
Successive addition of two propene molecules to alkyl radicals, 1,5 (and 1,4) H shifts in the adduct radicals, molecular hydrogen eliminations, and decompositions of the oligomeric radicals are parts of the overall mechanism.
Also, while the present experimental evidence is clearly incompatible with dominant hydrogen formation from the parent molecule in the abstraction reaction, the present data do not allow a clear-cut decision as the role of molecular elimination from the radicals and/or the stable species.

 UK CRHF Incident Report - Fatal accident, due to decomposition of a diazonium salt
A lengthy and detailed examination to clarify the cause of the accident has now shown that the explosion was due to the decomposition of an unforeseeable accumulation of 2,4,6 tribromophenyl diazonium bromide.
The diazotization reaction produces mainly tribromophenyl diazonium hydrogen sulphate, together with tribromophenyl diazonium bromide, which is formed as a by-product with bromide ions derived from the bromination reaction.
The diazotization reaction has been performed frequently in the past without problems because the diazotization suspension is coupled immediately.

 Thermal Decomposition Reaction and a High Temperature Kinetic Model   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As a result, we have investigated and developed a high temperature decomposition and oxidation model based on a hierarchical nature of reacting systems to reflect the new development in the small molecule and radical kinetics and thermochemistry and to evaluate recent measurements of DME laminar flame speeds.
Since the decomposition and abstraction pathways are coupled during both pyrolysis and oxidation, accurate description of the unimolecular decomposition process over a wide range of conditions was needed to properly assess the contributions of the abstraction reactions to fuel destruction.
In the present work, thermal decomposition of DME was studied theoretically by using the RRKM/master equation approach and the high temperature model was then compared with the literature experimental data.

 3.5 Applications : Kinetics of Catalytic Reactions
It is possible to predict how the kinetics of certain heterogeneously-catalysed reactions might vary with the partial pressures of the reactant gases above the catalyst surface by using the Langmuir isotherm expression for equilibrium surface coverages.
The decomposition reaction occurs uniformly across the surface sites at which molecule A may be adsorbed and is not restricted to a limited number of special sites.
Under these circumstances, the molecules of A adsorbed on the surface are in equilibrium with those in the gas phase and we may predict the surface concentration of A from the Langmuir isotherm i.e.

 Reaction Types   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The hallmark of a chemical reaction is that new material or materials are made, along with the disappearance of the mass that changed to make the new.
There are magnitudes of difference in the amounts of energy in ordinary chemical reactions compared to nuclear reactions, the rearrangement of the nuclei of atoms to change to new elements is enormous compared to the smaller energies of chemical changes.
Reversible reactions are symbolized in chemical equations by a double-headed arrow, but the standard remains to call the materials on the left the reactants and the materials on the right the products.

 Crosslinking Agents Center - Organic Peroxides - Stability and decomposition reaction
Decomposition can also be caused by hot material being added to an organic peroxide, or by the peroxide being put into a hot recipient.
Organic peroxides show decomposition reactions, the rate of which depends on temperature and concentration of the product, grade of confinement, type of diluent and kind of molecular structure.
Because of these fast decomposition reactions, handling, storing and transport conditions of organic peroxides must always be in compliance with the level of the Self Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT).

At temperature of 210 °C the largest part of B is transformed to the product D. Inversely, at a temperature of 280 °C the largest part is transformed to the product C. This behavior is caused by the large difference of the activation energies for step 2 and step 3, respectively.
