The direction of an exergonic reaction can best be described as moving
A) from higher to lower entropy.
B) from lower to higher free energy.
C) from higher to lower free energy.
D) from higher to lower absolute temperature.
E) from lower to higher absolute temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exergonic reactions release energy, moving from a state of higher free energy to a state of lower free energy. This is because the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is negative, indicating that the process is spontaneous.
