Answer:
A reversible reaction is one where <u><em>B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>
Explanation:
A reversible reaction is one that reagents are transformed into products and at the same time products are transformed into reagents. That is to say that as the products appear in the reaction, they can react with each other by regenerating the reagents again. It is represented by a double arrow, indicating that the reaction can be carried out both in one direction and the other way around.
At the start of the reaction, there is a large amount of reagents. As time goes by, that amount decreases and speed too.
On the other hand, at the beginning of the reaction there are no products. As the reaction happens, the products are being formed and their speed will increase to match the speed of the reagents. When the rates of products and reagents are equal and constant, it is possible to say that the reaction is in chemical equilibrium. At this point, both reactions continue to happen, but the total concentrations of reagents and products no longer change.
The Gibbs free enthalpy or free energy of a system is a measure of the amount of usable energy (energy that a job can perform) in that system.
When a reaction system is in chemical equilibrium, it is in the lowest possible energy state (it has the lowest possible free energy). If a reaction is not in equilibrium, it will move spontaneously towards it because that allows it to reach a state of lower and more stable energy. Then when the reaction moves towards equilibrium, the free energy of the system decreases more and more.
Finally, <u><em>a reversible reaction is one where B) there is little change in the net free energy between substrate and product.</em></u>
Aluminum is an element. If there's nothing else in the foil
besides aluminum, then the foil is entirely an element.
<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.
If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form 
ions.
If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form 
ions.
Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
A sodium ion symbol is written as Na^+.
