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

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

Complete the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when formic acid (hcooh) dissolves in water. please include the stat
nignag [31]
Your balanced equation for this reaction is:

HCOOH (aq) + H2O (aq) → HCOO- (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

So from the reaction, we can see when formic acid dissolved in water so H3O+ ions will be formed.
and we can see that it is a balanced equation as:
we have H atoms = 4 on both sides of the reaction
and C atoms = 1 atom on both sides of the reaction
and O atoms = 3 atoms on both sides of the reaction
So it is our final balanced equation of the reaction.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17x10^-30 C.m. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole m
valkas [14]

Answer:

There are other details missing in the question. i.e Assume that x is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis E = p/2πε0y3 can be used, where p is the dipole moment, and y is the distance between ions. A) What is magnitude______N B) Direction? +x-direction or -x-direction C) Is this force attractive or repulsive?

A) Magnitude of electric force = 6.576 x 10 raised to power -13 N

B) Since the force direction is always dependent on the electric field and electric field = F/q, since the chlorine has a negative charge as such the direction of the electric force will be in the X - direction

C) Since the charges are of different nature, as such the force between them will be ATTRACTIVE.

Given the equation I = Q/t, solve for t.
larisa86 [58]

Answer: t=\frac{Q}{I}

Explanation:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

Multiply by t on both sides.

t*I=\frac{Q}{t}*t

tI=Q

Now divide by I to isolate t.

\frac{tI}{I}=\frac{Q}{I}

t=\frac{Q}{I}
