ΔrGo m= ΔrHo m− TΔrSo m=− RTln Kp (14.1) where ΔrGo m is the change in the free energy of a chemical reaction, ΔrHo m is the reaction enthalpy and ΔrSo m is the change in the entropy of a chemical reaction. The negative sign (< 0) provides a qualitative indication of the general feasibility. Moreover, the magnitude of the gas-phase thermodynamic equilibrium constant Kp (at any temperature of interest T) provides quantitative insight into the possible yield of the desired product (eg for Kp> 10 the yield is very close to 99%). As a rule, thermodynamic calculations are initially carried out at the reference temperature T= 298 k. Using the standard molar isobaric heat capacities Co pm of reaction participants, the feasibility of the reaction at any desired temperature can be derived with the aid of kirchhoff's law. According to eqn (14.1), knowledge of enthalpies of formation and entropies of reaction participants is indispensable for the feasibility analysis. predicting the entropies and heat capacities of organic molecules is undoubtedly a challenging task. in principle, they can be reliably calculated with the help of quantum chemistry (QC) or using statistical mechanics if their structures, moments of inertia and vibrational frequencies are known. From eqn (14.1), it is obvious that the inaccuracy of the entropy predictions (calculated in the usual units J k− 1 mol− 1) compared with the enthalpic term (calculated in the usual units kJ mol− 1) can be regarded as less pronounced. in contrast, however, the prediction or experimental determinations of the standard molar enthalpies of formation, ΔfHo m, of the reaction participants are much more difficult owing to the very high sensitivity of this property to the purity of the compound. For example, a small amount of an impurity (even less than 0.05%) in the sample used for combustion experiments can falsify the measured enthalpy of formation by 20–30 kJ mol− 1. in this context, the development of different methods for validating experimental enthalpies for a correct feasibility prognosis from the gibbs–helmholtz equation is essential. These include classic empirical structure–property relationships and modern QC calculations. For example, the structure–property analysis of thermodynamic properties in chemical families of r-substituted benzamides, r-substituted benzoic acids and r-substituted benzenes revealed 1 some general linear interrelations for the enthalpies between the chemical families under study. These linear correlations can serve for the establishment of the internal consistency of experimental results available for each chemical series. in the past decade, high-level composite QC methods become a valuable tool 2, 3 for obtaining theoretical ΔfHo m (g, 298 k) values with a so-called “chemical accuracy” of 4–5 kJ mol− 1. These QC methods differ considerably in terms of time and computing power. QC calculations are currently being carried out successfully to obtain ΔfHo m (g) values for small-and medium-sized molecules. in our opinion, a judicious combination of QC and
