<span>Since the answer is in grams, kilograms must first be converted to grams. A kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams. Therefore, multiply 1.2 kilograms by 1000 and you get 1,200 grams. Then, calculate the number of hours in 5 days. Each day is 24 hours and 24 hours multiplied by 5 days equals 120 hours. Lastly, since the answer is in grams per hour, divide 1,200 grams by 120 hours and the resultant rate of reaction is 10 g/hr.</span>
Release less energy than it uses
In an endothermic reaction products are <u>HIGHER </u>than reactants in potential energy and <u>LESS </u>stable.
Explanation:
Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.
