Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given figure illustrates an exergonic reaction or an endergonic reaction.

Introduction: The chemical reactions are of two types namely exergonic reaction and endergonic reaction. The type of reaction in which energy is released to the surrounding is known as exergonic reaction. This type of reaction is a spontaneous reaction, and the Gibbs free energy (∆G) value for this reaction is negative. The type of reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding is known as endergonic reaction. This type of reaction is a non-spontaneous reaction, and the ∆G value for this reaction is positive.
