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.
![**Learning Goal:**
To understand the concepts of heat capacity, specific heat, and molar heat capacity.
Heat capacity, \( C \), is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. The energy needed to warm an object increases as the mass of that object increases. We see this in our everyday life. For example, we know that it takes much more energy to heat a large tank of water than a small cup. Because of this dependence on mass, experimentally determined heat capacities are always reported in terms of the amount of the substance that is heated.
One method is to report how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of **one mole** of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. This value is the **molar heat capacity**, which has the symbol \( C_P \). The molar heat capacity is given in the units \( \text{J/(mol} \cdot \degree \text{C)} \).
A second method is to report how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of **one gram** of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. This value is the **specific heat**, which has been given the symbol \( C_S \). The units for specific heat are \( \text{J/(g} \cdot \degree \text{C)} \). The heat capacity of a substance is therefore related to the energy \( q \) needed to raise its temperature by an amount \( \Delta T \). That is, \( q = nC_P\Delta T \), where \( n \) denotes the number of moles of the substance, or \( q = mC_S\Delta T \), where \( m \) denotes the number of grams of the substance.
