Which is thermodynamically stable isoborneol or isomeric borneol?

Borneol is more thermodynamically stable. Isoborneol is the kinetic product.


What is an exergonic reaction?

Exergonic reactions indicate a negative change in Gibbs free energy, which in English means that the reactions are spontaneous and do not require addition of energy. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood and lungs is an example. It is the concentration gradient that runs these exchanges passively, without additional energy from the cells.


Which energy converts to which energy in electrolysis?

In electrolysis Electrical energy is used for changing thestate of Chemical / Metal structure. Usually during this process heat energy is released as by product.


What is the difference between spontaneous and stimulated emission of light?

stimulated emission causes due to the energy difference between the higher and lower energy level state, but it doesn't depends in the case of spontaneous emission . spontaneous emission causes without any stimulation .In stimulated emission energy transfer is twice the energy transfer of spontaneous emission.

What is the meaning of thermodynamically favored reactions?

When a chemical reaction is described as being "thermodynamically favored," it means that it requires a great deal of activation energy for it to occur.


What are the products of the electrolysis of aqueous lead nitrate?

Oxygen on the anode and lead on the cathode. Since it's electrolysis, the reaction is not spontaneous.


The majority of spontaneous chemical reactions in nature are?

exothermic


What kind of reaction tends to be spontaneous?

Reactions that are exothermic


On what conditions does a spontaneous reaction become spontaneous?

For some non-spontaneous reactions, you can change the temperature. For other non-spontaneous reactions, there is nothing you can do to make it spontaneous. Nature favors reactions that increase a system's entropy (disorder) and nature favors reactions that are exothermic (they release enthalpy). Any reaction that does both of these things is spontaneous at all temperatures. Any reaction that does neither of these things is never spontaneous. As far as this question is concerned, the interesting reactions are endothermic reactions that increase entropy and exothermic reactions that decrease entropy. Whether these reactions are spontaneous depends on the temperature. The first variety (endothermic, increase entropy) will be spontaneous at high temperatures; the second (exothermic, decrease entropy) will be spontaneous at low temperatures. To find the temperature at which a reaction becomes spontaneous, one may apply the Gibbs equation: DG = DH - TDS where capital Ds stand for the Greek capital delta.

chain reactions


What changes considered as oxidation reduction reaction burning of magnesium ribbon or electrolysis of water?

both reactions are redox reactions


Are anabolic pathways spontaneous?

You would expect a catabolic reaction to be spontaneous because this type of reaction involves the release of energy. You would expect reactions that require energy (anabolic reactions) not to be spontaneous due to the need for an input of energy.


Why do energy absorbing reactions react spontaneous?

it doesn't its energy releasing reaction


What are some examples of spontaneous processes?

electrolysis, burning/combustion, photosynthesis. sorry that's the processes i am sure of. (we were still discussing about this in class)


Does all irreversible reactions are spontaneous?

No, not all irreversible reactions are spontaneous - for example, cooking an egg. Once it's cooked, there's no going back to the raw egg stage. But it takes a lot of heat to get to that stage, so it is not spontaneous. If you find an old egg laid by a hen, it will not have a hardboiled texture!
