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.

Reaction time
Study the graph above. In terms of bond energy, which statement is TRUE regarding the energy involved in breaking and making
bonds.
This is an endothermic reaction. The energy required to break bonds > the
A)
energy released from making bonds.
This is an exothermic reaction. The energy required to break bonds > the
energy released from making bonds.
B)
This is an exothermic reaction. The energy required to break bonds < the
energy released from making bonds.
C)
This is an endothermic reaction. The energy required to break bonds < the
energy released from making bonds.
