Sodium chlorate decomposes into sodium chloride and oxygen gas as seen in the equation below. 2NaCIO3 --> 2NaCl +302 How many grams of NaClO3 were needed to produce 6 grams of O₂? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Round your answer to the whole number. If you answer is a whole number like 4, report the answer as 4.0 Use the following molar masses. If you do not use these masses, the computer will mark your answer incorrect.: Molar Element Mass Sodium 23 Chlorine 35.5 Copper 63.5
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.
