Consider the data about gold metal in Exercise 5.26(b).(a) Based on the data, calculate the specific heat of Au(s).(b) Suppose that the same amount of heat is added to two10.0-g blocks of metal, both initially at the same temperature.One block is gold metal, and one is iron metal.Which block will have the greater rise in temperature afterthe addition of the heat? (c) What is the molar heat capacityof Au(s)?
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.
Consider the data about gold metal in Exercise 5.26(b).
(a) Based on the data, calculate the specific heat of Au(s).
(b) Suppose that the same amount of heat is added to two
10.0-g blocks of metal, both initially at the same temperature.
One block is gold metal, and one is iron metal.
Which block will have the greater rise in temperature after
the addition of the heat? (c) What is the molar heat capacity
of Au(s)?
