Elucidating the Role of the Mixing Entropy in Equilibrated Nanoconfined Reactions

By introducing the concept of nanoreaction-based fluctuating mixing entropy, the challenge posed by the smallness of a closed molecular system is addressed through equilibrium statistical–mechanical averaging over fluctuating reaction extent. Based on the canonical partition function, the interplay...
