What is the value of AH° for the following reaction? CH4(9) + 2 F29) → CF4(9) + 2 H2ig) The values of the bond energies are: C-H bond 413 kJ/mol, H-H bond 432 kJ/mol, F-F bond 159 kJ/mol, and C-F bond 485 kJ/mol.
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.
Enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change associated with the reaction. In terms of bond energies the enthalpy of reaction is defined by difference in sum of all bonds in products from that of reactants.
