Answer:

Products have a lower total Gibbs free energy in comparison with the reagents total Gibbs free energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Exergonic chemical reactions are those that the overall Gibbs free energy is negative, it means that the products have a lower total Gibbs free energy, turning out into a spontaneous chemical reaction. Such reactions are thermodynamically possible under standard conditions and they usually release heat.

Best regards.
