Explain why the total amount of energy does not decrease in an exergonic chemical reaction

Chemistry

Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago

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

What coefficients are needed to balance the following equation?<br><br> H2O + Fe Fe2O3 + H2
earnstyle [38]
H2O+Fe⇒Fe2O3+H2

When it is balanced it would be:

3H2O+2Fe⇒Fe2O3+3H2

When balancing equations, you have to make sure that all elements are equal on each side.

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?
andreev551 [17]

Common based on their location in Periodic Table;

Potassium has an atomic number 19. Its electronic configuration is as follow;

                                       1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s¹

And Krypton has an atomic number of 36. Its electronic configuration is as follow;

                                1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶

It is concluded that both Potassium and Krypton has their valence electrons in 4rth shell or they have same Principle Quantum Number.

Difference based on their location in Periodic Table;

As observed in electronic configuration Potassium has one valence electron in its valence shell (i.e. 4s¹) while, Krypton has eight valence electrons in its valence shell (i.e. 4s², 4p⁶). Therefore, they are different in the number of valence electrons.

Given that the density of gold and sand are 19. 3 g/cm^3 and 2. 95 g/cm^3, respectively, and that the density of the mixture is
SOVA2 [1]

The percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be 34.5%.

How to calculate the percentage?

The following information can be deduced based on the information given:

Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³.

Density of sand = 2.94 g/cm³

Density of mixture = 4.17 g/cm³

It should be noted that when we find the volume fo gold on a 1cm³ sample, then we can be able to find that mass. The volume of gold will be calculated thus:

4.17 = [(19.3x + 2.95(1 - x)]

4.17 = 19.3x + 2.95 - 2.95x

4.17 = 16.35x + 2.95

x = 0.0746cm³

The mass of gold will be:

= 0.0746 × 19.3

= 1.44

The percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be:

= 1.44/4.17 × 100

= 34.5%

In conclusion, the percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be 34.5%.

What is Mass?

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.

The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg). Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics. Due to the lower gravity on the Moon, an object would weigh less than it does on Earth while maintaining the same mass. Given that weight is a force.
