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.

Question

**Complete the combustion of a hydrocarbon:**

In a chemical reaction, 5.20 g of a hydrocarbon were completely combusted, resulting in the production of 16.7 g of CO₂ and 5.70 g of H₂O. Your task is to determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon by inserting the appropriate subscripts.

**Empirical Formula:**

The provided answer in the text is C₁₀H₁₇, which is marked as incorrect.

This educational prompt guides students in calculating the empirical formula from combustion data, involving the conversion of mass of CO₂ and H₂O to moles, and deriving the ratio of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
