Does an adiabatic affect how much energy a reaction gives off?

### Re: Adiabatic Wall

Adiabatic mean that $\Delta Q = 0$, so a reaction can still absorb or release energy if work is done on the system or the system does work.

### Re: Adiabatic Wall

Adiabatic means that energy cannot be absorbed or ejected as heat so the system must do work or work must be done on a system in order to absorb or release energy.

### Re: Adiabatic Wall

Since no heat is exchanged with the surroundings in the presence of an adiabatic wall, q=0.

If we apply this fact to the $\Delta U = q + w$ equation, we find that $\Delta U = w$ when adiabatic
