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.

An insulated container is used to hold 46.2 g of water at 32.5 \deg C. A sample of copper weighing 14.2 g is placed in a dry test tube and heated for 30 minutes in a boiling water bath at 100.0\deg C. The heated test tube is carefully removed from the water bath with laboratory tongs and inclined so that the copper slides into the water in the insulated container. Given that the specific heat of solid copper is 0.385 J/(g-\deg C), calculate the maximum temperature of the water in the insulated container after the copper metal is added.

The air has a dry ball temperature of 32 °C and a wet bulb temperature of 24 °C is heated in a heater so that the temperature of the dry ball increases to 90 °C. The air is then passed through the corn kernels pile to dry. air that comes out of the pile of corn kernels to dry. The air that exits the corn kernels is at a dry bulb temperature of 60 °C. then this air is passed to the dehumidifier to reduce its RH to 10 %.
