Thermodynamics deals with things like the Gibbs free energy of phases, from which one can calculate phase stability and relative phase fractions under specific conditions. Kinetics deals with how fast (if at all) one might get to thermodynamic stability. Visualizing thermodynamic stability in terms of molecule kinetics is going to get you into trouble. | |

| Sep 24, 2018 at 16:39 | comment | added | Jon Custer | You appear to be trying to use kinetics (rates) to understand thermodynamics (energetics). This is a mistake. | |
