Chapter 7.3, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether ∆G is zero, or have a positive value or a negative value in a reaction in which enthalpy decreases and entropy increases.

Introduction: Under conditions of a biochemical reaction, free energy (G) is defined as the amount of energy available to perform work. Entropy is defined as degree of randomness in a system and enthalpy is defined as the total potential energy of a system.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the given reaction in which enthalpy decreases and entropy increases is endergonic or exergonic.

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 reactions 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.
