A calorimeter is calibrated by mixing two aqueous solutions each with a volume equal to 44.4 mL. The reaction is known to produce 1,465 J of heat, and the measured temperature rise is 4.64 K. Heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter and the resulting solution in it. The same calorimeter is used in a subsequent experiment where 44.4 mL of 0.430 mol L-1 HCl are mixed with 44.4 mL of 0.43 of NaOH. The temperature rises by 3.38. Calculate the heat evolved by the reacting system in J *be sure to include the correct sign in your answer*. heat evolved (J) = J What is the enthalpy of the neutralization reaction in kJ/mol ? Enthalpy of Reaction (kJ/mol) = kJ/mol
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.
