what is spontaneous process".Explain the role of free energy in these processes.
By the activation Energy.
Yes, candle burning is a spontaneous process. A spontaneous process is defined as: once it is allowed to start, the process will proceed to the finish without any external intervention. You lit the candle, it was allowed to burn and it would keep going without any help. The Gibbs free energy change for this process is negative. On the other hand, the decomposition of CaCO3(s) is NOT a spontaneous process. You have to keep heating the reaction vessel in order to decompose all CaCO3. Outside intervention is needed for this process to finish.
When bonds form during cell processes, energy is released.
Nuclear energy, but to get substantial energy release it is no good relying on spontaneous fission, which only occurs at a very low rate. The nuclear fuel must be arranged in a lattice with a moderator to create a significant chain reaction.
haha...no idea. I have the same question...... But after reading my text, I'm pretty sure its to do with the fact that there is an energy barrier between the reactant and products that must be overcome in order for the reaction to proceed, which is what activation energy basically is, the amount of energy needed to jumpstart the process. ! I'm studying for Finals too!
non spontaneous process happen in the universe but energy has to be provided to them . the free energy change of such processes are positive . the amount of temperature has to be increased to carry out such reactions
By the activation Energy.
The energy production of the sun.The energy production in nuclear reactors.
A process that absorbs energy.
Radioactive decay.
Whether or not a chemical process is spontaneous is determined by a variable named the Gibbs' free energy, or just Gibbs' energy, given by the formula G = H - TS, where G is the Gibbs' energy, H is enthalpy, T is temperature and S is entropy. A negative G implies that the chemical process is spontaneous and will occur by itself, and a positive G implies that energy is required to make the reaction occur.
The process is called metabolism. The mitochrondria function as energy breakdown organelles in the cell. The term for aerobic metabolism is cellular respiration.
In a plant cells what part processes energy
animals get energy from the food they eat that gives them energy

There are two main processes where particles of matter release energy. These two processes are known as freezing and condensation.
