| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where is energy found in chemicals? | energy is stored in chemical bonds that hold atoms together known as covalent bonds |
| The amount of energy in a molecular bond is called? | Bond energy |
| What is free energy? | is the portion of energy of a system that can preform work |
| Why is free energy always less than the bond energy that gave rise to it? | tightly bond electrons have lower potential energy than those shared equally |
| What factors contribute to making a reaction spontaneous? | Decrease internal molecular energy or if they increase entropy |
| What factors contribute to changes in Gibbs free energy? | Enthalpy and entropy |
| What two factors contribute to making a reaction spontaneous? | Decrease internal molecular energy or if they increase entropy???? |
| What does (H) refer to? | Enthalpy; the total energy found in molecules |
| What is Gibbs free energy (G) and how is it calculated? | is the measure of its instability; by entropy and enthalpy |
| How does spontaneity differ from rate? | |
| What is the (G) value of exergonic? | G<0 |
| What is the (G) value of endergonic? | G>0 |
| Why are exergonic reactions often coupled? | |
| Why are endergonic reactions coupled? | |
| What is the G value when reactions are at equilibrium? | G=0 |
