Hello students.

On this question, if we observe the energy released in a chemical reaction, what does it mean? is it the substrate free energy, which is less than that of the products free energy, or is it an endergonic process, exergonic process, spontaneous reaction, but not quick, products free energy is less than the substrate's free energy? now, let us understand what is happening here.
00:28
They are given that energy.
00:30
Is being released.
00:32
What does energy release mean to you? you're observing that heat is generated, right? when heat is generated, what kind of process is it known as? it is known as the exergonic process.
00:45
What happens in this case? the reactants are basically converted to products and this reaction occurs at a spontaneous level, right? so in this case, since it's spontaneous, what can you say? you can say that the free energy of the product is more when compared to the free energy of the reactant.
01:07
Or you can say the free energy of the product is more than that of the substrate.
01:13
So in this case, if we see the options, first thing we know is that this process is exergonic, right? and we know this process is spontaneous reaction.
01:25
But it is not quick, but it is spontaneous.
01:28
Irrespective of not being quick, it is spontaneous reaction, right? and we observe that the substrate free energy is less than the product free energy...
