Frost Diagram Chemistry. Frost diagrams can be constructed from latimer diagrams. Here e is the reduction potential for the x n x 0 couple and n is the number of electrons transferred in the conversion of x n to x 0.
The frost diagram for sulfur shows the relative stability in terms of cell potentials of the possible aqueous oxidation states. In a frost diagram a proxy for the free energy relative to that of the free element oxidation state zero is plotted as a function of oxidation state. For example in the frost diagram for manganese at ph 0 the species ce hmno4 is concave with respect to ce mno4 and ce h3mno4.
In a frost diagram a proxy for the free energy relative to that of the free element oxidation state zero is plotted as a function of oxidation state.
It shows ne against the oxidation number n. It shows ne against the oxidation number n. I read that concave points in a frost diagram disproportionate. Frost diagrams can be constructed from latimer diagrams.
