Answer:

D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.

Explanation:

<em>What does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) predict? .</em>

A. It predicts what the rate of the reaction will be. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.

B. It predicts how high the activation energy is. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.

C. It predicts if entropy will increase or decrease. NO. ΔG depends on the entropy but not the other way around.

D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. YES. If ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous and if ΔG > 0 the reaction is not spontaneous.

Rate law equation The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants. For the general reaction betwe

Answer: The reaction order with respect to A is m

Explanation:

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

For the given reaction:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

$Rate=k[A]^m[B]^n$

In this equation, the order with respect to each reactant is not equal to its stoichiometric coefficient which is represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

Hence, this is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Order with respect to A = m

Order with respect to B = n

Overall order = m+n

Thus order with respect to A is m.
