Your lab partner accidentally mixed some sodium chloride with your sample of Epsom salts (MgSO₄･7H₂O). You want to make a standard solution of magnesium ion, and this is the only sample of a magnesium salt you have. To determine the amount of magnesium salt in the mixture, you heat 100.00 g to drive off the water of hydration and find that the anhydrous mixture has a mass of 57.75 g. How many grams of the original salt mixture must you add to 1.000 L of water to make a 0.100 M solution of Mg²⁺ ion?
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.
