Concept explainers

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.

**Understanding Heat of Combustion: Ethanol vs. Hexane**

Ethanol, \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O} \), is commonly blended with gasoline—typically as a 10 percent mix—to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource, and ethanol-blended fuels like gasohol are known for their efficient combustion in engines. The heat of combustion for ethanol is \( 326.7 \, \text{kcal/mol} \).

The heat of combustion for hexane, \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} \), is \( 995.0 \, \text{kcal/mol} \). The question asks: How much energy is released during the complete combustion of \( 460 \, \text{grams} \) of hexane?

A field is provided to input the energy in kcal.

**Question for Comparison:**
Assuming the same efficiency, would \( 460 \, \text{grams} \) of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as \( 460 \, \text{grams} \) of hexane?
