Sulfur dioxide, SO2(g), can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO3(g), by the reaction 2SO2(g)+02(g)-2SO3(g) The standard enthalpies of formation for SO2(g) and SO3(g) are AH⚫f[SO2(g)]=-296.8 kJ/mol AH-f[SO3(g)]=-395.7 kJ/mol Calculate the amount of energy in the form of heat that is produced when a volume of 4.40 L of SO2(g) is converted to 4.40 L of SO3(g) according to this process at a constant pressure and temperature of 1.00 bar and 25.0 °C. Assume ideal gas behavior.
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.
