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 …
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 energ…

Chapter 2, Problem 2A.3BE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The work done by the system under the given conditions has to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The first law of thermodynamics relates the work done and the heat supplied to the system.  It is represented by the formula given below as,

  ΔU=q+w

The work under the influence of an external pressure is either done by the system or on the system.  The formula to calculate the work done against an external pressure is given below as,

    w=−pexΔV

The negative sign in the above equation shows that the work is done by the system.
