f a chunk of metal weighing 19 g is boiled in water at 100 °C, then place in a calorimeter with 35 g of water with an initial temperature of 20 °C and the final temperature of the water reaches 32 °C. What is the amount of heat (J) that is transferred from the metal to the water? Using the heat (J) transferred from the metal to the water, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Don't forget your units in your final answers. Fill the table out using the information provided. Also answer what the heat and specific heat is.
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.
