11. An isomerization reaction is to be investigated involving the enthalpy of ring opening of cyclopropane to form propene: =CH2 H3C To determine the enthalpy change of this reaction the following calorimetric data were found for the combustion of cyclopropane and propene: Reaction I Reaction II mass of substance burned C.H. (g) + 3/2 0, (e) → 3C0, (E) + 3H,0 (8) C.H. (g) + 3/2 0,(g) → 3C0,(g) + 3H,O(8) 0.28g cyclopropane 0.37 g propene volume of water 300 ml 300 mL initial temperature 22.3 °C 22.0°C final temperature a) Find the AH for Reaction I and Reaction II using the above laboratory data. (Cwater = 4.18 J/g°c) Use the AH values for reactions I and Il to determine the enthalpy change for the ring opening of cyclopropane. 33.6 °C 36.4 °C
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
