A 5.00 g sample of water vapor, initially at 155*C is cooled at atmospheric pressure, producing ice at -55*C. Calculate the amount of heat energy lost by the water vapor sample in this process, in kJ. Use the following data specific heat capacity of ice is 2.09 J/ gK; the specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.18 J/ gK; the specific heat capacity of water vapor is 1.84 J/ gK; the heat of fusion of ice is 336 J/g; the heat of vaporization of water is 2260 J/g.
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.
