As energy disperses, where does it go?
the track of dispersed energy .
Answer to Problem 18RQ
The dispersed energy tries to spread out in the surrounding and reduce the concentration in the particular system.
Explanation of Solution
The process of the conversion of reactant species into the product species is called a chemical reaction.
There are two main types of chemical reactions based on the exchange of energy.
The chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed in the system from the external area or the surrounding is the endothermic type of reaction.
The chemical reaction where the energy is released to the surrounding from the area of interest or the system is the exothermic type of reaction.
The energy released in the exothermic reaction will try to disperse and reduce the concentration of the system.
Thus disperse energy is transferred to the surrounding from the system just to decrease the amount of heat present in the system.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the dispersed energy tries to spread out in the surrounding and reduce the concentration in the particular system.
