In 2004, New York City Transit started to use ultra-low sulfur kerosene to fuel its fleet of buses. A few years later, the industry standard became ultra-low sulfur diesel. The combustion of these two fuels and of gasoline (assume octane) are represented by the following equations (assuming an average molecular formula of C12H26 for kerosene and an average molecular formula of C12H23 for diesel). Kerosene 2C12H26(1) + 3702(g) → 24CO₂+26H₂O(g) AH = -15743 kJ Diesel 4C12H23(1) + 7102(9)→ 48CO2 + 46H₂O(g) Octane 2C8H18(1) +250₂(g) 16CO₂ + 18H₂O(g) A,H°-10148 kJ The enthalpy change per mole of each fuel is calculated to be Fuel kerosene diesel octane Fuel kerosene Record your answers to one decimal place. Include signs; do not include units. diesel Using your recorded molar enthalpy values from Question 1, calculate the enthalpy change per gram of each fuel. octane Fuel Enthalpy change per mole (kJ/mol) + kerosene + diesel octane ArH=-29989 kJ Record your answer to one decimal place; include signs; do not include units Enthalpy change per gram (kJ/g) ♦ The enthalpy change per mole of carbon dioxide released is calculated to be ♦ Enthalpy change per mol of carbon dioxide released.

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.
