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
464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage

Given
Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g
26.5 years in storage
Required
Initial sample
Solution
General formulas used in decay:
t = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years

Answer:
55.9 g KCl.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:
Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:
Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:
Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

Answer:
4.42 × 10⁻³⁷ m
Explanation:
Step 1: Given and required data
- Mass of the body (m): 1 kg
- Velocity of the body (v): 1500 m/s
- Planck's constant (h): 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Step 2: Calculate the de Broglie wavelenght (λ) of the body
We will use de Broglie's equation.
λ = h / m × v
λ = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s) / 1 kg × (1500 m/s) = 4.42 × 10⁻³⁷ m
