AKS 4g. A candle is placed into a sealer jar. The flame eventually goes out on the candle. Which reactant is limiting the reaction? The candle is considered a reactant in this question. (DOK 1) Cande + O, - Co, H0 охудen O water
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.
Putting the jar over the candle keeps oxygen from outside the jar from getting in.
The reaction can only use the oxygen that is already in the jar. So, when that oxygen is used up, the reaction can't keep going. Running out of oxygen makes the flame go out.
