This was a lab I performed where we mix aqueous 25ml HCl and 25ml NaOH and use a program called microlab to determine the cooling rate after the initial heating. We used a coffee cup calorimeter that had a stirring bar. At first, NaOH solution is by itself in the coffee cup calorimeter. It’s temperature was 23.02 C. I waited for 70 seconds and then added the 25ml of HCl to it. The temperature rose to 29.59 C, then began to cool down immediately. The cooling rate was y=0.0089x+26.1273 according to the program. The final weight of the solution was 47.147g. The moles of NaOH was 0.919M and HCl was 1.033M. The questions: calculate the theoretical value for change in delta Hrxn.
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.
