A 350.0 g iron pot is heated on a stove for a period of time until it is hot. The stove is turned off and 516 g of cold water (10.0 °C) is added to the pot. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the water is 28.4 ° C. What was the initial temperature of the iron pot, assuming heat was exchanged between these two objects and none was lost to the surroundings? (The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.450 J/g °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g °C) Give only the numerical answer in the box and not units. Give 4 sig figs in your answer. Show the calculations for the problem by writing it on a paper, upload the image file/pdf file in the question for file upload.
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.
