Fructose, C6H12O6(s), is a sugar closely related to glucose. A 0.755 g sample of fructose was combusted with excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, containing 500.0 g of water. The heat capacity of the empty calorimeter was 208 J/K. The temperature of the calorimeter and the water rose from 22.00°C to 27.12°C due to the combustion reaction, which formed CO2(g) and liquid water. What is the energy change, AU (in kJ), for the combustion of one mole of fructose under these conditions? O-15600 O-804 O-2810 +254 +520
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.
