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
Answer:
The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that the colliding reactant molecules must possess for the formation of products. Lower the activation energy, higher will be chance of formation of products. So activation energy is the minimum energy requirement that has to overcome for the reaction to be completed. Therefore, when in a chemical reaction the reactant molecules do not collide with required activation energy, the collisions will not be fruitful even if they are properly oriented which means that the products will not form.
Hence the correct answer will be B.) no products will be formed
Answer: c. greater than 7.00
Explanation: The equivalence point of a titration is when all the base is consumed by the acid. When a strong base and a strong acid react, the medium is neutralized because is produced water and salt (which won't suffer hydrolysis). How water's pH is 7, in this type of titration the pH of the equivalence point will be at pH=7. But on titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the reaction of the equivalence point produces water and the conjugate base of the acid. Because the acid is weak, their conjugate base will be strong and will suffer hydrolysis, producing hydroxyl ions, elevating the pH of the water and making it greater than 7.
