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

finlep [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

   The nitrates of Bi,Sn and Cd is ruled out because their sulfides are insoluble in acidic medium.

Nitrates of Ni or Co may be present because their sulfides are insoluble in basic medium. The presence of other nitrates are ruled out.

For an alloy that consists of 33.5 wt% Pb and 66.5 wt% Sn, what is the composition (a) of Pb (in at%), and (b) of Sn (in at%)? T
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Pb: 22.4 at%

Sn: 77.6 at%

Explanation:

It is possible to find at% of Pb and Sn converting mass in moles using molar mass assuming a basis of 100g, thus:

Pb: 33.5g × (1mol / 207.2g) = <em>0.1617mol</em>

Sn: 66.5g × (1mol / 118.7g) = <em>0.5602mol</em>

<em />

Total moles: 0.1617mol + 0.5602mol = 0.7219mol

Composition in at%:

Pb: 0.1617mol / 0.7219mol × 100 = <em>22.4 at%</em>

Sn: 0.5602mol / 0.7219mol × 100 = <em>77.6 at%</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!
