Tt Uonsand Suppose a boil water notice is sent out advising all residents in the area to boil their water before drinking it or using it for cooking. You need to boil 14.0 L of water using your natural gas (primarily methane) stove. What volume of natural gas is needed to boil the water if only 19.9% of the heat generated goes towards heating the water. Assume the density of methane is 0.668 g/L, the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, and that the water has an initial temperature of 20.8 °C. Enthalpy of formation values can be found in this table. Assume that gaseous water is formed in the combustion of methane. volume of methane:
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.
