Enthalpy-Entropy Compensation Phenomenon

[laurence14b2f]

Hey everyone! Could someone elaborate on the role of enthalpy-entropy compensation phenomenon in reaction mechanisms and kinetics? I'm not too strong on this. Thanks!

Entropy refers to disorder, and enthalpy refers to heat absorption by the atmosphere. Entropy is inversely proportional to temperature, and enthalpy is directly affected by temperature.

Variations in enthalpy and entropy are often interrelated in such a way that changes in one property can be compensated or balanced by changes in the other property, leading to a consistent Gibbs free energy change.
The enthalpy-entropy compensation phenomenon can influence reaction kinetics by affecting the activation energy (Ea) of reactions.
