LWR # 1 Apply Stoichiometry A student performed an experiment to find the amount of sodium carbonate, (Na₂CO₂) that is produced from the decomposition of baking soda, NaHCO, by heating. Decomposition of baking soda: 2NaHCO,> Na₂CO, + CO₂ + H₂O The following data were collected. Complete the data table. Mass of empty evaporating dish 24.353 grams Mass of evaporating dish and baking 27.868 grams soda 26.885 grams Mass of evaporating dish and sodium carbonate Mass of baking soda 84.007 g/mol Mass of sodium carbonate (experimental) 105.9888 g/mol Molar mass of baking soda 84.007 g/mol Molar mass of sodium carbonate 105.9888 g/mol 1.678 grams > 4 Theoretical (calculated) mass of sodium carbonate 09314 g/mol Calculate percent error of the analysis (1105.9888-09314) +100/.09314 = 9.8% 1 = Atomic mass: Na = 23.0g; H=1.0 g; C=12.0g; O=16.0g % error = (Experimental-Calculated) x 100/ Calculated
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.
