Calculate the AH and AS for the following isobaric process: 1 mol of H₂O (liq) at 45 °C →→→ 1 mol of H₂O (vap) at 145 °C The molar heat of vaporization of water is at 100°C is 40.79 kJ mol-¹and the molar heat capacity of iquid water is 75.30 J mol-¹K-¹. Assume ideal gas behavior and that the molar heat capacity to be cemperature independent.
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.
