The following reaction is exothermic. 2 N₂O(g)→ 2 N₂(g)+ O₂(g) This means the reaction: A)will be spontaneous at all temperatures B)will be spontaneous only at high temperature C)will be spontaneous only at low temperatures D)is not spontaneous at any temperature E)cannot determine without temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An exothermic reaction releases heat into the surroundings, which means that the products have less energy than the reactants. This typically leads to a negative ΔG (Gibbs free energy) value, making the reaction spontaneous at all temperatures. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

The Following Reaction Is Exothermic
