In this lab you will be calculating A₁H for several chemical reactions using the technique of constant- pressure calorimetry. You will be monitoring the temperature of the water inside the test tube and then computing reaction AH values afterwards. In every experiment, the temperature shown on the thermometer will increase during the reaction. This means every A,H you report in this lab must be: Select one: Zero Positive O Negative, because an increase in temperature means the reaction is exothermic
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.
