15. Calorimetry a. How much heat needs to be taken from 0.5 kg of ethyl alcohol as a gas at its boiling point of 78.0° C to a solid at its freezing point -114° C if the latent heat of vaporization is 850,000 J/kg and its latent heat of fusion is 104,000 J/kg, and the specific heat is 2400 J/(kg C). b. If an piece of Iron (c = 450 J/kg C) at 65.0° C is dropped into .250 kg of ethyl alcohol at 25.0° C and the final temperature of the two comes to 35.0° C what was the mass of the piece of iron? c. If.35 kg of solid ethyl alcohol at -114.0° C is put in a large well insulated jug holding 2.5 kg of liquid ethyl alcohol initially at 35.0° C what will the final temperature be after all the solid form has melted and come to equilibrium?
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.
