Question
Chapter 6.1, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Entropy is the increase in the randomness of a system that is present in the environment. The entropy is the measure of the system’s thermal energy that is present per unit temperature, which is unavailable for performing any useful work.

There is a release of energy due to the breakage of high-energy bonds in the reactants. There is a release of energy because the energy needed to form new bonds in the products, is less than the energy released from breaking of bonds in the reactants.

When AG 0, the reaction is BOTH reactant-favored (nonspontaneous) AND endergonic. When AG > 0, the reaction is BOTH product-favored (spontaneous) AND exergonic.

(d) A spontaneous process can occur with a large decrease in entropy.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false regarding an enzyme's ability to catalyse a reaction? an enzyme provides a reaction surface and a hydrophilic environment for the reaction to take place an enzyme binds reactants such that they are positioned correctly and can attain their transition-state configurations an enzyme allows the reaction to go through a more stable transition state than would normally be the case an enzyme can weaken bonds in reactants through the binding processarrow_forward
- The velocity of a reaction is the quantity of the: solution color that disappears in a specified unit of time. reactant that appears in a specified unit of time. reactant that disappears in a specified unit of time.

Briefly describe how an enzyme is able to speed of the rate of a reaction:arrow_forwardthis one represents an endothermic reaction. Things are similar: the flat line on the left (beginning of the reaction) is the total energy possessed by the reactant molecules; once again, kJ stands for energy in kiloJoules, thousands of Joules. The flat line on the right (reaction complete) is the total energy of the products. Since an endothermic reaction has a net absorption of energy (taking this extra energy from the surroundings), the products have higher energy than the reactants. Question: the energy of the reactant molecules is kJ. [to answer, simply identify the correct y-axis coordinate.] 250 200 PE (kJ) 150 100 50 Reaction pathwayarrow_forward
