Equilibria in Electrochemistry and Maximal Rates of Reaction

Analysis of PDEs 2022-09-27 v1

Abstract

We consider Gibbs' definition of chemical equilibrium and connect it with dynamic equilibrium, in terms of no substance formed. We determine the activity coefficient as a function of temperature and pressure, in reactions with or without interaction of a solvent, incorporating the error terms from Raoult's Law and Henry's Law, if necessary. We compute the maximal reaction paths and apply the results to electrochemistry, using the Nernst equation.
