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 2E

SI The accompanying photo shows a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar climbing up a twig.

As the caterpillar climbs, its potential energy is increasing. What source of energy has been used to effect this change in potential energy?
If the caterpillar is the system, can you predict the sign of q as the caterpillar climbs?
Does the caterpillar do work in climbing the twig? Explain.
Does the amount of work done in climbing a 12-inch section of the twig depend on the speed of the caterpillar's climb?
Does the change in potential energy depend on thecaterpillars speed of climb? [Section 5.1]
