In an experiment, you are using Hess's Law and calorimetry to determine the molar enthalpy for the neutralization of solid potassium hydroxide: KOH(s) + HBr(aq) → H,O(1) + KBr(aq) In order to use Hess's Law you must calculate molar enthalpy changes for two other known reactions: (1) HBг(ag) + Kонад) —Н20() + KBrfaq) (2) КОНIS) - Кон аgд) a. In reaction (1), the following data was recorded: Observation Experimental Observations Quantity, of reactant 1 100-ml of 1.00 mol/L KOH(aq) Quantity of reactant 2 100-ml of 1.00 mol/L HBr(aq) Initial temperature 10 °C Final temperature 12.5°C Combine the volumes of quantity 1 and 2 to obtain the mass of the environment, assume the specific heat capacity of water. Calculate the molar enthalpy for the neutralization of KOH(aq). (1:3) b. In reaction (2), the following data was recorded: Observation Experimental Observations Quantity of KOH(s) 5.61 g KOH(s) 3.43J Enthalpy Change determined from calorimetry For reaction (2) determine the molar enthalpy for KOH(s) → KOH(aq). (1:3) c. Using Hess's Law determine the molar enthalpy for: KOH(s) + HBr(aq) H,O(1) + KBr(aq) (A:3) d. What molar enthalpies are exothermic and endothermic? Give numerical reasons for your answer. (A:2) e. If the volume of the reactants in reactant (1) were doubled, what would happen to the molar enthalpy for the target equation? (A:1). Give specific reasons for your answer. (C:2) f. What are some flaws with determining molar enthalpy for this reaction from calorimetry? (C:2)
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.
