The process of dissolving ammonium nitrate,NH4NO3, in water is an endothermic process. a)what is the sign of q? b)if you were to add some ammonium nitrate to water in a flask,would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool? c)commercial cold packs consist of solid ammonium nitrate and water.NH4NO3 absorbs 3,30x10^2 J of heat per gram dissolved in water.In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 4,40 g NH4NO3 is dissolved in 100,0 g of water at 21,0 degrees celcius. What is the final temperature of the solution? Assume that the solution has a specific heat capacity of 4,18 J/g.K.
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.
