∙ 13y agoIn exergonic, energy releasing, reactions the energy of the reactants is greater than that found in the product. This means, given time, the reaction will occur on its own, or spontaneously. This is because the reactants have potential energy. However, this still could take a very, very, very long time. In reality, almost all chemical reactions require energy to proceed in a timely fashion.

∙ 11y agoA reaction is "spontaneous" when the total products have lower Gibbs free energy than the total reactants. Note that spontaneous reactions in this sense do not always occur quickly, however.

Is candle burning a spontaneous or non spontaneous reaction?
Spontaneous
Is the burning of paper a spontaneous reaction?
If you hold a match to the paper, then yes, the reaction is spontaneous.
How do you determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or non spontaneous?
The first of two factors that determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous is entropy. The second is energy. For a reaction to be spontaneous, it must have both of these factors.
How does Gibbs free energy predict spontaneous?
If G < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
What kind of reaction occurs when the entropy change of an endothermic reaction is negative?
The reaction is exothermic
What does a positive cell voltage mean?
The reaction is spontaneous.
What does the term spontaneous mean in a chemical reaction?
This is a very fast reaction.
A chemical reaction has a positive H value and a positive S value Under what conditions is the reaction spontaneous?
the reaction is always spontaneous :) youre welcome =D i just took this on apex, the correct answer is the reaction is spontaneous only at high temperatures.
Is candle burning a spontaneous or non spontaneous reaction?
Spontaneous
Is the burning of paper a spontaneous reaction?
If you hold a match to the paper, then yes, the reaction is spontaneous.
What is the value of G for a reaction that is spontaneous?
The value isn't significant, but ∆G must be negative for a spontaneous reaction.
How do you determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or non spontaneous?
The first of two factors that determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous is entropy. The second is energy. For a reaction to be spontaneous, it must have both of these factors.
Is the Uniform mixing of bromine vapor and nitrogen gas a spontaneous or non spontaneous reaction?
spontaneous
Which best describes a galvanic cell a battery containing a non spontaneous reaction a battery containing an acid and a base a battery containing a spontaneous redox reaction a battery that requires?
spontaneous redox reaction
A chemical reaction has a positive ΔH value and a positive ΔS value Under what conditions is the reaction spontaneous?
The reaction is spontaneous only at high temperatures.
What does the term spontaneous mean in chemical reactions?
This is a very fast reaction.
What can be said about a redox reaction that has a positive potential?
. The reaction will be spontaneous.
