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.

![For each reaction, decide whether the reaction is a
redox reaction, acid-base reaction, electrophile-
nucleophile, or something else. One can begin to
identify the type of reaction by looking to see if
oxidation numbers of atoms that take part in the
reaction change during the reaction. You will need
to draw out the structures.
a. If the reaction is considered an acid-
base reaction, draw out the full
mechanism for the reaction. Be sure to
indicate which compound is the acid,
base, and conjugate acid and base
(where possible).
b. If the reaction is considered a redox
reaction, be sure to indicate which
species are oxidized and which are
reduced.
c. For every reaction you will need to
justify your identification of the type of
reaction.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb69cfffd-a8c5-4605-8811-fcbda2e1a34b%2F6bf3a45d-d90c-41ac-88f6-63bb5a138ed0%2Fv073o3a_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
