Constructing Hess's cycles 1 Given the enthalpy changes AH, and AH, below, construct a Hess's cycle that will enable you to find the enthalpy change for the reaction: MGCO;(s) → Mg0(s) + CO>(g) AHRI MGCO3(s) + 2HCI(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(1) MgO(s) + 2HCI(aq) → H,O(1) + MgCl,(aq) AH1 AH,
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.
![Constructing Hess's cycles
Given the enthalpy changes AHị and AH2 below, construct a Hess's cycle that will enable
you to find the enthalpy change for the reaction:
1
MGCO3(s)
MgO(s) + CO2(g)
AHRI
AH1
MgCO3(s) + 2HCI(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H20(1)
MgO(s) + 2HCI(aq) → H,O(1) + MgCl,(aq)
AH2
Given the enthalpy changes AH3 and AH4 below, construct a Hess's cycle that will enable
you to find the enthalpy change for the reaction:
MgCl2(s) + 6H2O(1) → MgCl2.6H2O(s)
AHR2
AH3
MgCl2(s) + aq → MgCl2(aq)
MgCl2.6H20(s) + aq → MgCl2(aq)
ΔΗ
Given the enthalpy changes AHs and AH, below, construct a Hess's cycle that will enable
you to find the enthalpy change for the reaction:
