<span>The number of lone electron pairs on the central atom of molecule having a linear molecular geometry such as CIF2- is three (3). In studying chemistry, linear molecular geometry describes the geometry around a central atom bind to two other atoms or ligands placed to a bond-angle of 180 degrees.</span>

Explain why the total amount of energy does not decrease in an exergonic <br> chemical reaction
Zielflug [23.3K]

An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative (there is a net release of free energy),[1] indicating a spontaneous reaction. For processes that take place under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the Gibbs free energy is used whereas the Helmholtz energy is used for processes that take place under constant volume and temperature conditions.

Symbolically, the release of free energy, G, in an exergonic reaction (at constant pressure and temperature) is denoted as

{\displaystyle \Delta G=G_{\rm {products}}-G_{\rm {reactants}}<0.\,}

Although exergonic reactions are said to occur spontaneously, this does not imply that the reaction will take place at an observable rate. For instance, the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide is very slow in the absence of a suitable catalyst. It has been suggested that eager would be a more intuitive term in this context.[2]

More generally, the terms exergonic and endergonic relate to the free energy change in any process, not just chemical reactions. An example of an exergonic reaction is cellular respiration. This relates to the degrees of freedom as a consequence of entropy, the temperature, and the difference in heat released or absorbed.

By contrast, the terms exothermic and endothermic relate to the overall exchange of heat during a process

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane is: 2C2H2 + 5O2 CO2 + 2H2O 2CH4 + 5O2 2CO2 + 4H2O 2C4H10 + 13O2 8CO2
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Butane is C₄H₁₀.

C_4H_{10} + O_2 \to CO_2 + H_2O \\ \\&#10;\hbox{balance carbon and hydrogen on the right-hand side:} \\&#10;C_4 H_{10} + O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\&#10;\hbox{balance oxygen on the left-hand side:} \\&#10;C_4 H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} \ O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\&#10;\hbox{multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction:} \\&#10;2 \ C_4H_{10} + 13 \ O_2 \to 8 \ CO_2 + 10 \ H_2O

The balanced equation is 2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ <span>→</span> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O.
