In general terms, exothermic reactions release energy, so the energy goes from the system to the surroundings.
Because it relates to more than one branch of knowledge. It combines more than one academic disiplines.
Answer:
ΔG°rxn = -69.0 kJ
Explanation:
Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.
N₂O(g) + NO₂(g) → 3 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -23.0 kJ
Since ΔG°rxn < 0, this reaction is exergonic, that is, 23.0 kJ of energy are released. The Gibbs free energy is an extensive property, meaning that it depends on the amount of matter. Then, if we multiply the amount of matter by 3 (by multiplying the stoichiometric coefficients by 3), the ΔG°rxn will also be tripled.
3 N₂O(g) + 3 NO₂(g) → 9 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -69.0 kJ
