QUESTION 1 "The AU rxn for the combustion of heptadecanal is-10195 k/mol. Prove this by: writing the balanced combustion reaction for heptadecanal, drawing correct Lewis Structures for all of the reactants and products, showing how many of each type of bond are on the reactants and products sides, and calculating the value of AH pxn for this reaction. You may have to look up the Lewis Structure of your compound on the internet." Attach File Browse Local Files Browse Content Collection Browse Dropbox
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.
