The reaction between hydrogen and fluorine gas proceeds according to the reaction equation H2(g) + F2(g) → 2 HF(g) A,H° = -271 kJ/mol If we were to mix H2 and F2 in a thermally insulated container, what would be the result? The reaction would be endothermic and the temperature inside the container would decrease. The reaction would be endothermic and the temperature inside the container would rise. The reaction would be exothermic but the temperature inside the container would remain constant. The reaction would be exothermic and the temperature inside the container would rise. The reaction would be endothermic but the temperature inside the container would remain constant. The reaction would be exothermic and the temperature inside the container would decrease.
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.
