?
What type of process is bond breaking?
Endothermic
1 of 8
What type of process is bond making?
Exothermic
2 of 8
What determines whether a reaction was endothermic or exothermic?
The energy made and the energy produced need to be compared
3 of 8
What is an endothermic reaction?
A reaction in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings in the form of heat. If more energy is needed than released.
4 of 8
What is an exothermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat. If more energy is released than needed.
5 of 8
How is the energy transferred by a fuel calculated by?
mass(in g) x specific heat capacity(in j/g degrees Celsius) x temperature change( in degrees Celsius)
6 of 8
How can reliability of an experiment be improved?
Repeating it. The more times the experiment is repeated, the more reliable it is.
7 of 8
What formula is needed to calculate the energy in a gram of fuel?
energy per gram =energy released (in J) / mass of fuel burnt (in g)
