Primes¶
- Catalysis
- Chemistry and biology (origin substrate): enzymes, transition-metal and acid/base catalysts, zeolites; ribozymes extend the pattern to nucleic acids, and catalytic selectivity is the basis of metabolic specificity.
This sourceStandard treatment of catalysis: catalysts lower activation energy on a specific pathway without being consumed and without shifting equilibrium; homogeneous vs. heterogeneous, enzymes, and poisoning.

- Micro Macro Linkage
- The across-macro edge is the dynamics over time, e.g. the ideal gas law \(PV = nRT\) governing how the macro variables co-move.
This sourceStandard physical-chemistry text stating the ideal (perfect) gas law PV = nRT, the across-macro thermodynamic relation governing how the bulk gas variables co-move.

- Preparation
- Not activation energy. `activation_energy` is the threshold barrier itself — the cost to cross from idle to active.
This sourceDefines activation energy as the threshold barrier that must be surmounted for a process to proceed from reactants to products.

Domain-specific¶
- Isolated System
- In standard thermodynamic usage, a closed system exchanges no matter but may exchange energy as heat or work
This sourceAtkins and de Paula's operational definitions in the First Law material: a closed system's boundary is impermeable to matter while open and closed systems alike exchange energy with their surroundings, and an isolated system exchanges neither (wording checked in Topic 2A of a later printing of the same text).
