Answer:
A reaction is spontaneous if ΔG is negative.
Explanation:
- The change in free energy (ΔG) is the difference between the heat released during a process and the heat released for the same process occurring in a reversible manner.
- The sign of ΔG gives an indication for the spontaneity of the reaction:
If ΔG is negative, the reaction is spontaneous.
If ΔG = zero, the reaction is at equilibrium.
If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous.
Answer:
when the net force of an object decreases
, the objects acceleration decreases.
Half reaction 1: 2Fe° → Fe₂³⁺ + 6e⁻ /×2.
4Fe° → 2Fe₂³⁺ + 12e⁻.
Iron is oxidized from neutral charge (0) to oxidation number +3, one iron lose three electrons, two irons lose six electrons and four irons twelve electrons.
Half reaction 2: 12e⁻ + 3O₂ → 2O₃²⁻
Oxygen is reduced from neutral chage to oxidation number -2, one oxygen gain two electrons, six oxygens gain twelve electrons.
Balanced chemical reaction: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.
