Points to Consider
In the course of an exothermic reaction, heat is released from the system into the surroundings, resulting in a decrease
in the enthalpy of the system. This is a favorable reaction because nature prefers a state of lower energy.
- What is meant by the term "driving force" as it relates to chemical reactions?
- What other force is responsible for the occurrence of endothermic reactions, which absorb heat into the
system?
