The Black Horse space plane is a concept space craft that is unique in many respects. Its design for aerial refueling with non-cryogenic fuels. The non-cryogenic fuels that would propel the space craft are a mixture of hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide. One of the reactions that occurs is represented by the following chemical reaction equation. N₂ H (1) + 7H₂O₂ (1) The reducing agent is reaction 2HNO3(aq) + 8H₂O(1) and a total of → electrons are transferred in this balanced
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.
