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.
![**Learning Goal:**
To calculate theoretical and percent yields, given the masses of multiple reactants.
A balanced chemical reaction gives the mole ratios between reactants and products. For example, one mole of white phosphorus, \( P_4 \), reacts with five moles of oxygen, \( O_2 \), to produce two moles of diphosphorus pentoxide, \( P_2O_5 \):
\[ P_4 + 5O_2 \rightarrow 2P_2O_5 \]
In this example, if we know the number of moles of phosphorus, we know that twice that much product can be made, assuming we have enough oxygen. Similarly, if we know the number of moles of oxygen, we know that two-fifths that much product can be made, assuming we have enough phosphorus. In a situation where you are given the mole amounts of both reactants, you should do this type of calculation individually for each one, finding two different values for the amount of product. The smaller of these two values is the maximum amount of product that can be made, also known as the theoretical yield.
If you are given the masses of the reactants, you will first have to convert to moles. Once you have mole amounts, you can follow the procedure described above, applying the ratios shown in the balanced chemical equation.
