ThesaurusAntonymsRelated WordsSynonymsLegend:
Noun1.energy of activation - the energy that an atomic system must acquire before a process (such as an emission or reaction) can occur; "catalysts are said to reduce the energy of activation during the transition phase of a reaction"
energy, free energy - (physics) a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the capacity of a physical system to do work; the units of energy are joules or ergs; "energy can take a wide variety of forms"

where [K.sub.0] is the index of Arrhenius equation ([m.sup.2] [s.sup.-1]); Ea is the energy of activation (kJ x [mol.sup.-1]); R is gas constant (8.31 kJ x [mol.sup.-1] [K.sup.-1]); T is absolute temperature (K).

Effective Diffusion Coefficient and Energy of Activation. To estimate the effective diffusion coefficient ([D.sub.ef]) at different temperatures, the equation obtained from the approximate analytical solution of Fick's second law is used [26, 29].
where w(T) is the percentage of residual mass, [w.sub.i] is the initial mass fraction on stage i, [([DELTA][G.sup.[THETA].sub.[not equal to]]).sub.i] is the free energy of activation of a reaction, n, is the order of a reaction, m is the stage number of a reaction, and [w.sub.i] satisfies Equation (6):
The energy of activation ([E.sub.a]), frequency factor (Z), and entropy ([DELTA][S.sup.*]) were also calculated for second and third stages of decomposition, the values of which are given in Table 5.
Free energy of activation ([DELTA][G.sup.[double dagger]]) was calculated from the equation:
The proposed mechanism is also supported by the moderate values of energy of activation and other activation parameters.
Abstract: Excess molar volume V E , energy of activation 6E , Gibbs energy change 6G and entropy change6S have been investigated for this study density and viscosity measurements of Acetonitrile (AN), 3-hydroxypropionitrile(3-HPN) and 50% mixture of AN + 3-HPN and alkali metal bromides (Li,Na,K,Rb and Cs)Br in AN, 3-HPN and50%AN+3-HPN over the concentration range (0.01 - 0.05 mol.dm-3) at temperature range (298 to 323 K) were used.

In the first experimental series given in table 1, compound variations in accelerator, oil and carbon black in SBR/NR were made, with results of the energy of activation ([E.sub.a)] and order of reaction (N) compared in table 7.
