The thermite reaction involves aluminum and iron(III) oxide 2Al(s) + Fe,03(s) → Al203(s) + 2Fe(l) This reaction is highly exothermic, and the liquid iron formed is used to weld metals. Calculate the heat released in kilojoules per gram of Al reacted with Fe,03. The AH for Fe(l) is 12.40 kJ/mol and AH for Fe,03 is -822.2 kJ/mol. The molar mass of Al is 26.98g.
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.

Standard Enthalpy of Formation and Reaction
The thermite reaction involves aluminum and iron(III) oxide
2Al(s) + Fe,03(s) → Al203 (s) + 2Fe(1)
This reaction is highly exothermic, and the liquid iron formed is used to weld metals.
Calculate the heat released in kilojoules per gram of Al reacted with Fe,03. The AH for
Fe() is 12.40 kJ/mol and AH° for Fe,0, is -822.2 kJ/mol. The molar mass of Al is
26.98g.
