The gain of electrons by a molecule is calleda. inhibition.b. entropy.c. oxidation.d. reduction.arrow_forwardDiagrams like the one below are used to represent exothermic reactions. For instance, consider burning charcoal (which almost entirely pure element carbon). A=carbon and B=oxygen, when they react they form C=carbon dioxide.

(d) A spontaneous process can occur with a large decrease in entropy.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not correct? a. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. b. Energy cannot change from one form to another. c. Energy tends to disperse spontaneously. d. Energy can be transferred.arrow_forwardFigure 6.8 Look at each of the processes shown, and decide if it is endergonic or exergonic. In each case, does enthalpy increase or decrease, and does entropy increase or decrease?arrow_forward
- Define entropy and enthalpy. Do living cells increase entropy within themselves? Do they increase entropy in the environment?arrow_forwardThis question is only semi-random, it does relate to something said in the video. You must supply energy to start combustion reactions: you must drag a match across a rough surface to get it to light, the heat from a lit match or lighter is required to start charcoal burning, gas stoves often use an electric spark to ignite the methane (natural gas), etc. The fact that you must supply energy to get these reactions started is evidence of activation energy specific heat exoothermic reactionarrow_forwardindicate whether the following reactions are endergonic, requiring energy input, or exergonic, releasing energy: endergonic, exergonic Definition Word Photons from the Sun reach planet Earth Plants use sun energy to convert carbon dioxide into sugars Living organisms break down sugars into carbon dioxide and water Living organisms make ATP from ADP and phosphate Living organisms break down ATP into ADP and phosphate Living organisms use ATP to power metabolic function and other things such as muscle movementarrow_forward

Include in your answer information about the ones you did not chose. alyzed Reaction Energy Exothermic Reaction Profilearrow_forwardWhy is the entropy of a system dependent on temperature?arrow_forwardImagine you are working in a lab, and you are performing two chemical reactions. You notice that Reaction A occurs much faster than Reaction B, and that both reactions release the same amount of heat. Which of the following conclusions can be made from your observation? Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is more negative (i.e., a larger negative number) than the AG for Reaction B. Reaction A has a lower activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has a higher activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is less negative (i.e., a smaller negative number) than the AG for Reaction B.arrow_forward
