Amr Morsi Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Very few, if present, chemical reactions that lead to store chemical reactions into compounds, like photosynthesis. Does this mean that chemical energy is to a vanish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that chemical energy is to a vanish? It doesn't vanish, it just changes into other forms. e.g. exothermic reactions heat up the surroundings.

Amr Morsi Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I understand swansont. I mean that the direction of transformation is in that of reducing chemical reactions to other forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississippichem Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I understand swansont. I mean that the direction of transformation is in that of reducing chemical reactions to other forms. What do you mean by reducing? Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult here. "Reducing" just has a very specific meaning in chemistry that isn't in line with the non-scientific usage of the word, similar to confusion over the word "work" in physics.

Amr Morsi Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I MEAN THAT APPROXIMATELY ALL CHEMICAL REACTIONS ARE IN THE DIRECTION OF GETTING CHEMICAL ENERGY FROM CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS AND NOT THE OPPOSITE. Is it still ununderstandable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 No need to shout. The laws of thermodynamics apply to chemistry. Entropy is going to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
