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:
ΔU = −55.45 kJ
Explanation:
From first law of thermodynamics in chemistry, we have;
ΔU = Q + W
where;
ΔU is change in internal energy
Q is the net heat transfer
W is the net work done
We are given;
Q = 74.6 kJ
But Q will be negative since heat is released
Thus;
ΔU = -74.6 kJ + W
We are given;
Constant pressure; P = 35 atm = 35 × 101325 = 3546375 N/m²
Volume before reaction; Vi = 8.2 L = 0.0082 m³
Volume after reaction; V_f = 2.8 L = 0.0028 m³
Now,
W = -P(V_f - V_i)
W = - 3546375(0.0028 - 0.0082)
W = 19.15 KJ
Thus;
ΔU = Q + W
ΔU = -74.6 kJ + 19.15 KJ =
ΔU = −55.45 kJ
Explanation:
When two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei then it is known as nuclear fusion.
When nuclei of two hydrogen atoms fuse together then it results in the formation of a helium atom along with the release of lot of energy. This energy is nuclear energy.
This nuclear reaction is as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that nuclear fusion represents nuclear energy.
