To define: The term free energy.
Introduction: The science that analyzes the relation of temperature and heat with different forms of energy and work is called
To explain: Exergonic and endergonic reactions.
Introduction: The science that analyzes the relation of temperature and heat with different forms of energy and work is called thermodynamics. There are some laws of thermodynamics which describe energy transformation within the system (collection of matter such as a cell) that helps the organisms to maintain spatial organization and to carry out various works.

- What do the following indicators tell you about whether a reaction can proceed as written? (a) The standard free-energy change is positive. (b) The free-energy change is positive. (c) The reaction is exergonicarrow_forwardLabel the following statements true or false: (c) A nonspontaneous reaction will proceed spontaneously in the reverse direction. (d) A spontaneous process can occur with a large decrease in entropy.arrow_forwardDraw out the reactant and product(s) for the following reaction: [0] 16:149 (COMPLETE OXIDATION)arrow_forward
- In a transition state diagram, which of the following are features of the transition state (TS)? There may be more than one correct answer, select all that apply. The change in energy in ground state to the transition state represents the Gibbs Free Energy If the reaction is reversible, the TS will only progress forward to form products The TS occupies a trough The TS is associated with the highest energy The TS occupies the highest peakarrow_forwardSketch and label the various parts of transition state diagrams for a reaction with and without a catalyst.arrow_forwardDistinguish between exergonic and endergonic reactions, and give examples of how they may be coupled.arrow_forward
- How do endergonic and exergonic reactions differ?arrow_forwardFor this reaction: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2, the products have 2760 kJ/mole more free energy than the reactants. So, which of the following statements best describes the reaction? a The reaction is endergonic because it converts molecules with less free energy to those with more free energy. b The reaction is exergonic because it converts molecules with less free energy to those with more free energy. c The reaction is exergonic because it converts molecules with more free energy to those with less free energy d The reaction is endergonic because it converts molecules with more free energy to those with less free energy.arrow_forwardConsider the reaction below to answer the following question(s): + HBr A B Br с + D Br Enter the appropriate letter in the blank for each the following statements. The kinetically controlled product in this reaction is D B Aarrow_forward
- fill out the two blanks using the diagram first blank either: spontaneous or nonspontaneous second blank: equalibrium or exergonic or endergonicarrow_forwardOn the free energy diagram shown, label the intermediate (s) and transition state(s). Is the reaction thermodynamically favorable? Reaction.arrow_forwardIdentify the specific molecules that powers endergonic reactionsarrow_forward
