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.

Heat is a form of energy, often called "thermal energy," that spontaneously passes from an object
at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature. Heat flow can be measured in a
device called a "calorimeter" for many physical and chemical systems: a simple calorimeter is
merely a container that has insulating walls so that as little heat as possible is exchanged between
the contents of the calorimeter and the environment surrounding it - a styrofoam cup is a good
homemade simple calorimeter, for example. This lab is designed to allow the student to observe
the heat effects of various acid-base reactions, to determine the change in enthalpy of an acid-
base system, and to provide an understanding of the effects of limiting reagents in a chemical
reaction.
Chemical reactions that give off heat (are "exothermic") or absorb heat (are "endothermic") will
be allowed to take place inside these simple calorimeters. The use of the styrofoam cup as an
insulator allows for the assumption that no heat is transferred to or gained from the
surroundings, so all heat involved in a reaction inside these calorimeters will be found within the
contents of the calorimeters themselves.
The way that we determine the enthalpy of a reaction is by the difference in the energy lost when
the new bonds of the products are formed from the energy absorbed to break the bonds of the
reactants. It looks something like this:
AH reaction = AHproducts-AHreactants

AHreaction (AHH20+ AHNaCI) - (AHHCI + AHNaOH)
=
AHreaction = (-286 kJ/mol + -407 kJ/mol) - (-164 kJ/mol + -469 kJ/mol)
AH reaction = -60 kJ/mol
Let's calculate the limiting reagent to determine how many mols of water will be formed:
Volume of reactant ÷ 1000 x Molarity of reactant x mole-to-mole ratio to water
Here's the first reactant: 25mL of 1.0M HCI
25mL of HCI x

Let's do this for the second reactant, 40mL of 0.80M NaOH

= 0.032 mol H₂O
The limiting reagent is the compound that produced the fewest number of moles. In this case,
the 25mL of 1.0M HCI only produced 0.025 mol H₂O, so that is the limiting reagent.
Next, multiply the limiting reagent (the moles) by the AH reaction calculated above
0.025 mol H₂O x -60 kJ/mol = -1.5 kJ
And that's your answer! The reaction should release -1.5 kJ of energy.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F50ee8c08-bdb6-49cd-9014-91cd3b523354%2F65d4e36d-21d5-4efa-b443-68c433f1f59e%2Fqg8lw5_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
