Which of the following indicates a reaction with a positive ΔG? A. endergonic, spontaneous B. endergonic, not spontaneous C. exergonic, spontaneous D. exergonic, not spontaneous

B. endergonic, not spontaneous

Explanation:

Endergonic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and   for the reaction comes out to be positive.

The Gibbs equation is:

= Gibb's free energy change

= enthalpy change

T = temperature

= entropy change

A reaction is non spontaneous when = Gibb's free energy change is positive

Thus the reaction has to be endergonic.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
