To help you answer this question, you can search a sample reaction in the internet for hydroboration-oxidation. Take a look at the attached picture. The sample reaction is shown at the top. We can deduce that the original compound must be an alkene. Following the pattern, compound a must be 2-methylbutene as shown in the picture.
Answer:
Usually give off heat energy
Explanation:
Exergonic reactions are the ones which are spontaneous. Spontaneous reactions are indicated by the negative change in the Gibbs free energy. In order to provide characteristics for an exergonic reaction, we need to define the Gibbs free energy in terms of the enthalpy change and the entropy change:
Here:
is the enthalpy change;
is the entropy change;
is the absolute temperature.
In order to achieve a negative value in the Gibbs free energy change, we should have:
This is true for all temperatures if:
The major term here is the change in enthalpy, notice that we wish the enthalpy change to be negative.
Negative enthalpy change corresponds to an exothermic reaction, the one which releases heat. This means exergonic reactions would usually give off heat.
