Suppose 400.0 ) of heat transfer causes a sample's temperature to drop by 2.00°C. Calculate the heat capacity. AT= The algebraic signs are both As far as this sample is concerned, the process is the direction of heat flow is • the sample. We can rearrange the equation q= CAT to solve for C: C= AT • /K Note that the value of Cis the same whether we use J/C or J/K; we can also write the units as Jc or J K. Need help?

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.
