When the Cacl2(s) is added to water, the following reaction occurs. Cacl,(s) → Ca2"(aq) + 2CI¬(aq) AH = - 81.5 kJ A 24.1 g sample of Cacl, is dissolved in water, with both substances at 25.0 °C. Calculate the final temperature (in °C) of the solution assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, the final solution, containing Cacl2 and water, has a mass of 100.0 g and the solution has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J °c-lg-1. The molar mass of Cacl, = 110.98 g/mol Do not include units in your answer, If you round during your calculations make sure to keep at least 3 decimal places. Report your answer to one (1) decimal place.
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.
