In this experiment you calculate specific heat of aluminum metal by calorimetry. Record your observations, complete Data table and perform calculations. Include both the numerical value and unit for each measurement and calculation. Data mass Specific Heat : C(J/g-°C) Initial temperature (°C): t₁ Final temperature (°C) : t₂ AT=t₂-t₁. CALCULATIONS Aluminum ? 20.59 79.8°C 28.6°C 51.1°c Do the following with your experimental data. water 82.19 4.184 26.28 28.6°C 2.4 ℃ Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water. Qu20 = m of H₂O x 4.184 x (IT of H₂O) The amount of heat given up by the aluminum block. Q=-QH20
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.
