Sulfur trioxide dissolves in water to make sulfuric acid, H2SO4. a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. Calculate the mass of sulfuric acid that could be produced from the reaction of 10.0 mL of water (d=00g/mL) and 20.0 g of SO3? c. Yeast converts glucose (C6H12O6) into ethanol (d=789g/mL) in a process called fermentation. An equation for the reaction can be written as follows: i. Balance the equation. ii. If the percent yield of ethanol is only 77.1%, how many grams of glucose must react to make 80.0mL of ethanol?
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.
