Image FIPHisto1.jpg frame right FIP infected kidney showing inflammatory response Feline infectious peritonitis FIP is a fatal incurable disease that affects cat s. It is believed by some to be caused by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus FIPV , which is a mutation of Feline Enteric Coronavirus FECV Feline Coronavirus FeCoV . Although there appears to be a connection between FIP and feline coronavirus, no clear cause and effect has yet been proven. Experts do not always agree on the specifics of FIP. However, the most common theory is that the normally benign FECV mutates into FIPV. The mutated virus has the ability to invade and grow in certain white blood cell s, namely macrophages. The immune system s response causes an intense inflammation inflammatory reaction in the containing tissues. This disease is generally fatal http www.vet.cornell.edu fhc brochures fip.html . However, its incidence rate is roughly 1 in 5000 for households with one or two cats. A nasally administered vaccine for FIP is available, but controversial and isn t proven to be highly effective. http www.vetinfo.com cencyclopedia cefip.html .

Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or to transform other chemical substances. Breaking or making of chemical bonds involves energy , which may be either absorbed or evolved from a chemical system. Energy that can be released or absorbed because of a reaction between a set of chemical substances is equal to the difference between the energy content of the products and the reactants. This change in energy is called the change in internal energy of a chemical reaction. Where math Delta U f circ mathrm reactants math is the internal energy of formation of the reactant molecules that can be calculated from the bond energy bond energies of the various chemical bonds of the molecules under consideration and math Delta U f circ mathrm products math is the internal energy of formation of the product molecules. The internal ... . In chemical thermodynamics the term used for the chemical potential energy is chemical potential , and for chemical transformation an equation most often used is the Gibbs Duhem equation . Chemical potential energy Chemical potential energy is a form of potential energy related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules. This arrangement may be the result of chemical bond s within a molecule or otherwise. Chemical energy of a chemical substance can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction . As an example, when a fuel is burned the chemical energy is converted ... transform solar energy to chemical energy through the process known as photosynthesis , and electrical energy can be converted to chemical energy through electrochemical reactions.
