Substance Specific Heat, c (J/gx°C) Water 4.184 Granite 0.803 Mercury 0.140 Silver 0.235 Aluminum 0.902 Lead 0.160 A sample of lead is heated and placed in a 113.0 g container of water at 22.0 oC. The final temperature of the lead and water is 28.0 oC. Assuming no heat loss, what amount of heat released from the lead sample?
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.
