Two solutions labelled A and B were mixed together in a polystyrene calorimeter. The following temperature data were collected. Solutions A B Select one: Resulting Mixture 14.8 exothermic endothermic From these observations it can be concluded that the reaction between A and B is Select one: Temperature (°C) negative positive 21.5 When calculated, the resulting enthalpy of reaction, would be 21.0 Select one: water propylene glycol Engine coolant is a liquid that absorbs waste heat to moderate engine temperature. Based solely on thermodynamic properties, would propylene glycol (c = 2.50 J/(g °C)) or water (c = 4.19 J/(g °C)) make a better engine coolant?
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.
