Question 9 The enthalpy change for the reaction: H*(aq) + OH(aq) → H₂O (1) AH -51.4 kJ/mol. If 160.6 mL of 0.56 M H3PO4 at 25.21°C is mixed with 174.8 mL of 0.55 M Ba(OH)2 at 25.21°C, what is the maximum temperature reached by the resulting solution if the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 409.2 J/K? Question 10 rxn The enthalpy change when a strong acid is neutralized by strong base is -51.995 kJ/mol. If 176.84 mL of 0.486 M HI at 25.04°C is mixed with 148.015 mL of 0.599 M NaOH at 25.04°C, what is the maximum temperature reached by the resulting solution if the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 486 J/°C? Answer °C
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.
