Choose all of the processes from below which describe changes which are independent of the path by which the change occurs. a the elevation increase experienced by a traveller travelling from Grand Isle, LA to Denver, Colorado the heat generated by a car engine as it burns a gallon of gasoline O the odometer mileage increase observed by a traveller travelling from Louisiana to Canada O the amount of work required to build a house the energy released by the combustion of a gallon of gasoline the heat evolved when a cube of sugar is oxidized to CO2(g) and H20(g) the number of rotations the earth undergoes over a specified period of time
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.
