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.

![Learning Goal:
The change in enthalpy, AH, is the heat absorbed or produced during
any reaction at constant pressure. Hess's law states that AH for an
overall reaction is the sum of the AH values for the individual
reactions. For example, if we wanted to know the enthalpy change for
the reaction
3Mn + 302 3MNO2
we could calculate it using the enthalpy values for the following
individual steps:
Step 1: 4Al+302 2Al2O3
Step 2: 3Mn+ 2A½O3→3MNO2 +4Al
Overall: 3Mn +302→3MNO2
If the enthalpy change is -3352 kJ/mol for step 1 and
1792 kJ/mol for step 2, then the enthalpy change for the overall
reaction is calculated as follows:
AH =-3352+1792 ==-1560 kJ/mol
It is also important to note that the change in enthalpy is a state
function, meaning it is independent of path. In other words, the sum of
the AH values for any set of reactions that produce the desired
product from the starting materials gives the same overall AH.
