When 68.7 grams of N₂H4 (32.0 g/mol) are reacted with 108 grams of O2 (32 g/mol) according to the reaction below 1434 kJ of heat were released. Determine the strength of the O=O using this information along with the table below. N₂H4 + O2-N2 + 2 H₂O Note: Numbers have been adjusted so the bond strength you find is not the same as what is in tables of experimental data. + Bond N-H N-O N=O N-N N=N NEN Enthalpy (kJ/mol) 390 200 607 160 418 946
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.
