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 2D.1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The average rise in the sea level due to thermal expansion of sea water on increasing the temperature by 1°C, 2°C and 3.5°C has to be calculated.  The approximations used in the estimation have to be stated.

Concept introduction: The expansion coefficient is defined as the fraction change in volume with respect to change in temperature.  Thus, it defines the change in size on changing temperature.  This is represented by the formula given below as,

  α=1V(∂V∂T)p

The isothermal compressibility is defined as the fraction change in volume with respect to change in pressure.  This is represented by the formula given below as,

  κT=−1V(∂V∂p)T
