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
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.
When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases as the temperature increases; hence the particles of the substance moves faster with increasing temperature.
When heat is withdrawn from a liquid, the temperature decreases and the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases. The molecules become less energetic hence the liquid changes into solid

suspension
Explanation:
a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration.

The process by which the oceanic crust is pulled under the continental crust is called subduction.
Answer:
El principal componente del gas natural es también el hidrocarburo más simple: el metano. Este compuesto está formado por un átomo de carbono y cuatro átomos de hidrógeno y se representa de dos formas:
El hidrocarburo que le sigue en simplicidad es aquel que está constituido por dos átomos de carbono. Su fórmula condensada es C2H6 y se le conoce como etano.
Si se continúan colocando átomos de carbono con enlaces sencillos entre ellos e hidrógenos en los enlaces libres, se crean largas cadenas de compuestos. Al etano le sigue el propano (C2H8) y a éste, el butano (C4H10). Todos estos compuestos forman parte de la familia de los alcanos, y sus nombres terminan con el sufijo –ano para indicar que pertenecen a la misma familia.
