A student is preparing a solution of sucrose (C12H22O11) at a specific concentration. They are doing this by weighing out sucrose on a scale, placing it in a volumetric flask, dissolving it in water, and then diluting it up to the mark on the volumetric flask with water. How would the experimental (actual) molar concentration for C12H22O11 differ from the calculated concentration (higher, lower, or the same) given the following scenarios? Explain. (Hint: Compare the calculated concentrations to experimental concentrations). c) When preparing the diluted solution, a student used the pipet bulb to blow out the last few drops in the pipet into the solution.
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.
