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 the reaction below:**
![Benzene H + Cl radical forms Benzene radical + HCl]
**Questions:**
a. Estimate the gas phase enthalpy change **using bond dissociation enthalpies from the OWL Table Reference**, not data from your text. Click the **References** button and then click the **Tables** link on the drop-down that appears. Include algebraic sign and units.
b. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
c. Is the reaction likely to proceed spontaneously in the direction written?
**Detailed Explanation of Reaction Diagram:**
1. **Reactants**:
- Benzene with an attached hydrogen atom (C₆H₅-H).
- Chlorine radical (Cl•).
2. **Products**:
- Benzene radical (C₆H₅•).
- Hydrogen chloride (HCl).
The reaction shows the dissociation of a hydrogen atom from benzene and its combination with a chlorine radical to form hydrogen chloride and a benzene radical.
**Tasks to Perform**:
- Utilize the bond dissociation enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change.
- Determine whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic based on the calculated enthalpy change.
- Assess the spontaneity of the reaction based on thermodynamic principles.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdaac3699-bbcf-491f-ae47-6900b381c75d%2F9ce50e50-dacf-4834-9da2-993c18ad19e6%2F53chars_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
