Answer : The reaction 2 is spontaneous.
Explanation :
As we know that:
= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous
= -ve, reaction is spontaneous
= 0, reaction is in equilibrium
For the reaction to be spontaneous, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction must come out to be negative.
Reaction 1:
Glucose + Pi
glucose-6-phosphate + H₂O, ΔG = +13.8 kJ/mol
Reaction 2:
ATP + H₂O
ADP + Pi, ΔG = -30.5 kJ/mol
From this we conclude that the value of ΔG is negative. So, reaction 2 is a spontaneous reaction.
Which elements are most reactive?
The alkali metals, found in group 1 of the periodic table (formerly known as group IA), are very reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements.
Fluorine is the most reactive
The number of sigma and pi bonds are,
Sigma Bonds =
16 Pi Bonds =
3Explanation: Every first bond formed between two atoms is sigma. Pi bond is formed when already a sigma bond is there. While in case of Alkyne (triple Bond) there is one sigma and one pi bond already present, so the third bond is formed by second side-to-side overlap of orbitals, hence, a second pi bond is formed.
Below all black bonds are sigma bonds, while in alkene there is one pi bond and in alkyne there are two pi bonds.
