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 …

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 energ…

Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 112AE

The hydrocarbons acetylene (C₂H₂) and benzene (C₆H₆) have the sum empirical formula. Benzene is an "aromatic" hydrocarbon, one that is unusually stable because of its structure.

By using data in Appendix C, determine the standard enthalpy change for the reaction 3 C₂H₂(g) →C₆H₆(l).
Which has greater enthalpy, 3 mol of acetylene gas or 1 mol of liquid benzene?
Determine the fuel value, in kJ/g, for acetylene and benzene.
