Calculate the internal energy change for each of the following. a. One hundred (100.) joules of work is required to compress a gas. At the same time, the gas releases 79 J of heat. Internal energy change = J %3D b. A piston is compressed from a volume of 8.00 L to 1.65 L against a constant pressure of 1.35 atm. In the process, there is a heat gain by the system of 623 J. Internal energy change = J c. A piston expands against 2.10 atm of pressure from 23.3 L to 34.0 L. In the process, 1918 J of heat is absorbed. Internal energy change = J
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.
