Chapter 6: Q. 10 P (page 169)

Which reaction is more energetically favored, one with 螖骋o= - 44 or one with 螖骋o= +44 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reaction with 螖骋o= - 44 is energetically more favorable.

Step by step solution

01

Spontaneous reaction

Reactions that proceed without an external energy supply are called a spontaneous reaction.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, it needs to have a negative value of Gibbs free energy.

Also,for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of螖厂o needs to be positive.

02

Energetically favored reaction

The reaction with a negative 螖骋ovalue is energetically favorable. In the above two cases, one value is positive and the other is negative. So the negative value of Gibbs free energy indicates that the reaction is energetically favored.

Hence, the reaction with role="math" localid="1649937296710" 螖Go= - 44 is energetically more favorable.
