"Synthesis gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and water vapor. At high temperature synthesis gas w form carbon dieide and hydrogen, and in fact this reaction is one of the ways hydrogen is made industrially. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fs a 500, ml. fask with 32 am of carbon monoxide gas and 25 am of water vapor, When the miture has come to equilibrium he determines that t contains 1.5 aem of carbon monoxide gas, 080 atm of water vapor and 1.7 atm of hydrogen gas The engineer then adds another 1.3 atm of water, and allows the misture to come to equilibrium again. Calulate the pressure of carton doxide ater equiibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. | atm
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.
