Which of the following correctly describe an exergonic reaction? Select True or False for each statement.
T/F The products have lower Gibbs free energy than the reactants.
T/F Activation energy is required for the reaction to proceed.
T/F The products always have lower entropy than the reactants.
T/F The reaction always occurs quickly.
What factors determine whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous or not?
Using what you have learned about changes in Gibbs free energy, would you predict the ∆G value of catabolic reactions to be positive or negative? What about anabolic reactions? Justify your answers using the terms 'enthalpy' and 'entropy.'
