The unbalanced equation for the reaction between chlorine gas and water is shown below. Balance the equation (enter the smallest integer possible in each box, including the integer "1" when needed) and determine the amount of H2O consumed and the amounts of HCl and HClO3 produced when 0.160 mol of Cl2 reacts. Cl2 (g) + H2O (l) HCl (aq) + HClO3 (aq) mol H2O consumed mol HCl produced mol HClO3 produced
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.
