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.

cylinder
From previous experiments, this chemical reaction is known to release 228. kJ of energy.
water bath
The temperature of the water bath is monitored, and it is determined from this data that 255. kJ of heat flows into the
gases
system during the reaction.
O exothermic
Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
O endothermic
O up
Does the temperature of the water bath go up or
down?
O down
O neither
O in
Does the piston move in or out?
O out
O neither
O does work
Does the gas mixture do work, or is work done
on it?
O work is done on it
O neither
How much work is done on (or by) the gas
mixture? Be sure your answer has the correct
number of significant digits.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff25f5031-5c62-465d-8a91-862aa3439c5b%2F55f671a5-26dd-449a-ab19-d85c5c8dbf62%2F1qq1mgo_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
