No, an Endergonic Reaction is not spontaneous because it requires a minimal amount of energy to get the reaction to actually start. That amount of energy required to start the reaction is called the Activation Energy.

∙ 7y agoAn exothermic reaction is not automatically spontaneous. Exothermic or endothermic is determined by the change in enthalpy. Whether a reaction is spontaneous is determined by the change in Gibbs free energy, which is G=H-TS where G is Gibbs energy, H is enthalpy, S is entropy, and T is absolute temperature.

∙ 8y agoThe term does not say that it is either. It just says that heat is released in a reaction.
Burning a candle is a classic example but that is not spontaneous since someone has to light it but it does give off heat.
Glycerol and potassium manganite (VII) crystals added together will burst into flame, giving off clouds of steam, after a short time lag. This an example of a spontaneous reaction that is exothermic.

∆G = ∆H - T∆S.

What happens in an endergonic reaction?
An endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive.
What is endergonic?
endergonic is a reaction under which energy is stored in a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.yourwelcome.
How does ATP couple exergonic and endergonic reactions?
Energy is usually released from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate- oxygen groups, leaving adenosine disphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent. Then the ADP is usually immediately recycled in mitochondria where it is recharged and comes out again as ATP.
Is the formation of ATP an endergonic reaction?
Yes
What kind of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a Endergonic/Endothermic reaction.
Forming a triacylglyceride from three fatty acids and glycerol...identify this reaction as either anabolic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous.?
Anabolic, endergonic, non-spontaneous
Is joining two glucose molecules to make maltose an endergonic reaction or exergonic reactions?
anabolic, endergonic, non spontaneous
Difference between endothermic and endergonic?
Endergonic means "absorbing energy in the form of work." Endergonic reactions are not spontaneous. An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative, indicating a spontaneous reaction.
What happens in an endergonic reaction?
An endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive.
Ask us anythingWhich of the following describes a nonspontaneous reaction?
a non spontaneous reaction is a reaction that doesnt occur naturally and it normally tends to favor the reactants of a chemical reaction. Another thing is that it doesnt really produce free energy
What is endergonic?
endergonic is a reaction under which energy is stored in a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.yourwelcome.
What is the differences between exothermic reaction and endergonic reaction?
exothermic reaction releases energy and endergonic reaction absorbs energy
How does ATP couple exergonic and endergonic reactions?
Energy is usually released from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate- oxygen groups, leaving adenosine disphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent. Then the ADP is usually immediately recycled in mitochondria where it is recharged and comes out again as ATP.
Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction. Why?
As opposed to an EX [as in expel] -ergonic chemical reaction, endergonic reactions absorb energy.
Burning paper identify as either anabolic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous?
Catabolic: cellulose is broken down to carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide. Exergonic: energy is released which can be used for work. Spontaneous: once the reaction is started, it will go to completion.
What happens during an endergonic reaction?
An endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed. To view the source and read more about endergonic reactions go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endergonic_reaction
The energy for an endergonic reaction comes from what kind of reaction?
Exergonic
