energy-yielding reaction
1Thermodynamic free energy — In thermodynamics, the term thermodynamic free energy refers to the amount of work that can be extracted from a system, and is helpful in engineering applications. It is a subtraction of the entropy of a system ( useless energy ) from the total… …
2Chemical reaction — Chemical reactions redirects here. For the 2007 television episode, see Chemical Reactions (Men in Trees). A thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide. The sparks …
3oxidation–reduction reaction — ▪ chemical reaction Introduction also called redox reaction any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes. The term covers a large and diverse body of processes. Many oxidation– reduction… …
4acid–base reaction — ▪ chemistry Introduction a type of chemical process typified by the exchange of one or more hydrogen ions, H+, between species that may be neutral (molecules, such as water, H2O; or acetic acid, CH3CO2H) or electrically charged (ions, such… …
5chain reaction — 1. Physics. a self sustaining reaction in which the fission of nuclei of one generation of nuclei produces particles that cause the fission of at least an equal number of nuclei of the succeeding generation. 2. Chem. a reaction that results in a… …
6high-energy — adjective 1. of or relating to elementary particles having energies of hundreds of thousands of electron volts • Pertains to noun: ↑energy 2. providing a relatively large amount of energy upon undergoing a chemical reaction • Similar to:… …
7Diels–Alder reaction — Named after Otto Paul Hermann Diels Kurt Alder Reaction type Cycloaddition Reaction …
8Diels-Alder reaction — The Diels Alder reaction is an organic chemical reaction (specifically, a cycloaddition) between a conjugated diene and a substituted alkene, commonly termed the dienophile, to form a substituted cyclohexene system. [cite journal author = Diels,… …
9Maillard reaction — The crust of brioche bread is golden brown due to the Maillard reaction The Maillard reaction (French pronunciation: [majaʁ], mah yar) is a form of nonenzymatic browning similar to caramelization. It results from a chemical reac …
10Principle of minimum energy — The principle of minimum energy is essentially a restatement of the second law of thermodynamics. It states that for a closed system, with constant external parameters and entropy, the internal energy will decrease and approach a minimum value at …
