To determine:
The classification of the reaction in which the products formed have lower energy than the reactants involved as being exergonic or endergonic in nature.
Concept Introduction:
Thermodynamics is the branch of chemistry which studies the difference of heat and energies of product and reactant in the chemical reaction. Therefore, the sign of free energy change and heat change for a given chemical reaction is predicted by using the concept of thermodynamics.
