Let's use calorimetry to measure heats of reaction but this time let's have a limiting reactant. Review #3 in T8VE if you want. Suppose you mix 25.0 mL of 0.12M cesium hydroxide with 25.0 mL of 0.30M hydrochloric acid. Assume both solutions are at 28.0°C. The temperature of the solution after the reaction is 31.3°C. Because the temperature of the solution went up, the reaction is (endothermic/exothermic). Compute the heat of the reaction assuming the heat capacities of the solutions are equal to pure water (4.18 J/g°C). Report the Q as positive it you thought the reaction was endothermic and negative if you thought it was exothermic. The Q is The heat of the reaction is generally reported as heat per mole. The moles of acid are Look at your moles and pick the limiting reactant. Therefore the heat of the reaction (in kJ/mole) is Joules. and the moles of base are Subm
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.
