Question 12

Which of the following reactions is spontaneous under standard conditions?

Accepted Answer

A reaction with $$\Delta G \u003c 0$$

Question 13

Which of the following is true about redox reactions?

Question 18

Which of the following is true about the enthalpy ($$\Delta H) of a $$reaction?

Accepted Answer

It is the difference between the chemical energy of products and reactants.

Question 19

Which of the following best describes the effect of increasing reactant concentration on reaction rate?

Accepted Answer

It increases the reaction rate by increasing the number of collisions.

Question 20

Which of the following is a correct statement about free energy ($$\Delta G) in $$biochemical reactions?

Accepted Answer

If $$\Delta G is $$negative, the reaction is spontaneous.
