A known volume of hot water is placed in a calorimeter and the system is allowed to equalize the temperature. A second known volume of cold water is added to the calorimeter and the resulting change in temperature is measured. Which of the following statements are true of this scenario? (Select all that apply) Heat is lost by the hot water Heat is gained by the calorimeter Heat is gained by the cold water Heat is lost by the calorimeter Please double check the solution.
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.
