A Try Again Your answer is wrong. In addition to checking your math, check that you used the right data and DID NOT round any intermediate calculations. The reduction of iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O3) to pure iron during the first step of steelmaking, 2 Fe₂O3(s) 4Fe(s) + 30₂ (g) is driven by the high-temperature combustion of coke, a purified form of coal: C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂ (g) Suppose at the temperature of a blast furnace the Gibbs free energies of formation AG, of CO₂ and Fe₂O3 are -434. kJ/mol and -832. kJ/mol, respectively Calculate the maximum mass of pure iron that can be produced by the combustion of 140. t of coke. (One metric ton, symbol t, equals 1000 kg.) Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 2.3 × 10 kg S
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.
