ABSTRACTThe driving force for syneresis is generally attributed to the same chemical reactions that produce gelation, but it has also been proposed that shrinkage could be driven by interracial energy. The latter possibility is explored and discounted. The kinetics of syneresis depend on the driving force, the mobility of the gel network, and the rate of fluid flow through the contracting gel. A model that allows for viscoelastic behavior of the gel and fluid flow according to Darcy's law is shown to provide a quantitatively accurate representation of the shape of the shrinkage curves and the dependence of the shrinkage rate on sample size.

This review presents the detailed picture of current knowledge on ultrasound assisted chemical reactions and its green approach in chemical synthesis. This article illustrates the theoretical background and details about ultrasound, its mechanism (cavitation, the driving force) in chemical synthesis, types of reactions with different systems and its utility. All the reported applications have shown that Sonochemistry, ultrasound assisted chemical reaction is a green and economical viable approach for drug, impurity or chemical intermediate synthesis. Keywords: Cavitation, Sonocatalysis, Sonochemistry Ultrasound

The second law of thermodynamics states the increase of entropy, ΔS > 0, for real processes from state A to state B at constant energy from chemistry over biological life and engines to cosmic events. The connection of entropy to information, phase-space and heat is helpful, but does not immediately convince observers of the validity and basis of the second law. This gave grounds for finding a rigorous, but more easily acceptable reformulation. Here we show using statistical mechanics that this principle is equivalent to a force law ⟨⟨f⟩⟩> 0 in systems where mass centres and forces can be identified. The sign of this net force - the average mean force along a path from A to B - determines the direction of the process. The force law applies to a wide range of processes from machines to chemical reactions. The explanation of irreversibility by a driving force appears more plausible than the traditional formulation as it emphasizes the cause instead of the effect of motions.

Topological approximations discussed in the preceeding paper are used for construction of topological energy hypersurfaces of chemical reactions on two levels of a sophistication. A method of a linear change of off diagonal matrix elements reproduces adequately Woodward-Hoffmann rules but it provides only qualitative information about energetical relations. A physically more rigorous hypothesis where the reaction driving force is a function of hybridization changes at reaction sites provides energy hypersurfaces which are correct from a quantitative viewpoint. The method suggested treats the total energy as a function of abstract reaction angles which reflect topological changes accompanying the reaction course. A reaction mechanisms analysis leads then to the analysis of topological energy hypersurfaces which can be treated similarly to that of conventional geometrical hypersurfaces. Formulas for atomic integrals necessary in the construction of Hartree-Fock and CI matrices are derived in the basis of reaction angles mentioned and approximations leading to the semiempirical type of a calculation are discussed.
