(a) how can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) what is the mathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
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.
(1) two baking sheets are made of different metals. you purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. you observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (you are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) how can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) what is the mathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
