What types of energy are involved in a chemical reaction? Is the energy required for a chemical reaction to take place, and Is the energy associated with every substance.
Adi S.
An reaction is one in which there is a net release of free energy, while a reaction is one in which there is a net absorption of free energy. Which of these will proceed spontaneously?
Chemical reactions and nuclear reactions can both release energy. On the average, would you expect the energy released per unit of mass in a chemical reaction to be greater than, equal to, or less than what is released in a nuclear reaction? Explain.
