This simulation on thermodynamics explored key concepts such as enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy through bomb calorimetry experiments to determine the internal energy of chemical compounds. Calculating standard enthalpies of formation and applying Hess's Law elucidated overall enthalpy changes for reactions. Analysis of Gibbs free energy changes allowed predictions on reaction spontaneity at different temperatures. The results highlighted the essential role of thermodynamics in analyzing energy storage challenges and reaction behaviors, emphasizing the interconnectedness of energy transformations in real-world applications. Leveraging this knowledge can drive the design of efficient energy storage systems, the development of thermodynamically favorable processes, and a deeper comprehension of chemical reactions across various contexts. This understanding is instrumental in advancing sustainable energy solutions to mitigate global challenges related to climate change and resource depletion.
