What is the difference between exothermic and exergonic?

Answer 1

exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases free energy. its final state is less than its initial state. while the endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs free energy from its surroundings. in this process, the initial state is less than its final state. it does not occur spontaneously.

Answer 2

Endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed. Exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction in which the free energy is negative.

Answer 3

Endergonic or Exergonic refer to whether the change in Gibbs free energy (delta G) is positive or negativeEndothermic or Exothermic refer to whether the change in enthalpy (delta H) is positive or negative.
Exothermic releases heat.

Exergonic releases energy.

(Energy can be heat, light, or sound.)

Answer 4

Exothermic refers to a reaction that releases heat to its surroundings, while exergonic refers to a reaction that releases energy overall, which can include heat, light, or other forms of energy. While exothermic reactions specifically involve the release of heat, exergonic reactions describe any process that results in a net release of energy.

Answer 5

Endergonic is the process of absorbing energy in the form of work. Exergonic is the process of releasing energy in the form of work.

Answer 6

"it" could mean anything, but exergonic means released energy, while endergonic means absorbed energy, that really depends on what it is.

Answer 7

Chemical reactions that release energy are more usually called exothermic, meaning they release heat, but they can also be described as exergonic, releasing energy.
