What is the change in internal energy (∆E) for a system in kJ if 2550 kJ of heat are absorbed by the system and the system performs 1900 kJ of work on the surroundings? CO(g) reacts with H2O(g) to form CO2(g) and H2(g). What is the percent yield if 1.8 g H2(g) gas is formed starting with 50.0 g of CO and 40.0 g of H2O? What is the value of work (w) for a process in which a gas expands from 3.00 L to 10.00 L against a constant external pressure of 2.00 atm?
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.
