Calculate the mass of the reaction mixture in each reaction. (To do this, first determine the total volume of the solution. Then calculate the mass of the solution, based on the assumption that the added solid does not change the volume and that the density of the solution is the same as that of pure water, 1.0 g/mL.) Remember to add the mass of the solid. a) Calculate the total heat released in each reaction, in J, assuming that the specific heat capacity of the solution is the same as that of pure water, 4.184 J/ºC g. Remember: heat of reaction = m C Δ T b) Calculate the number of moles of NaOH used in reactions 1 c) Calculate the number of moles of NaOH used in reaction 3 by multiplying the volume of NaOH times the molarity (1.000 mol/L). d)Calculate the energy released, in kJ/mol, of NaOH for each reaction.
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.
