Direct linkZhang, Kai – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
In this article, we use a simple lattice model to illustrate the concepts of entropy, free energy, and thermodynamic equilibrium from a microscopic perspective. These physical concepts are based on elementary knowledge of discrete probability distribution and weighted average. Calculations about this model involve basic algebra and counting, which…

Guerin, Abby C.; Riley, Kristi; Rupnik, Kresimir; Kuroda, Daniel G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Hydrogen bonds are very important chemical structures that are responsible for many unique and important properties of solvents, such as the solvation power of water. These distinctive features are directly related to the stabilization energy conferred by hydrogen bonds to the solvent. Thus, the characterization of hydrogen bond energetics has…
