If 2.36 g of calcium dichloride dissolves in 84.00 g of water in a kalorimeter at a constant pressure, the temperature increases from 18.000C to 19.279C. Assuming that the kalorimeter absorbs no heat and the specific heat of the solution is the same as that of water (SpHt = 4.184 J/g C). What is the heat change of the solution of calcium chloride in units of kj/mol calcium dichloride? Please show step by step work.
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.
