Chemistry - Energy changes

?
Burning wood (combustion) is an example of a ___ reaction
Exothermic reaction (energy exits to surroundings from the reaction)
1 of 20
What would happen to temperature of surroundings in exothermic reaction?
Increases/get's hotter
2 of 20
List some other examples of exothermic reactions...
Oxidation and neutralization
3 of 20
Energy change can be shown through an ___ ___ diagram
energy profile diagram
4 of 20
In an exothermic reaction, the products have __ energy then reactants
Less
5 of 20
Why is this?
Energy transferred (loss) from reaction to surroundings
6 of 20
____ reactions take in energy from surroundings
Endothermic
7 of 20
What happens to temperature of surrounds in endothermic reaction?
Decreases/get's colder
8 of 20
Why?
Energy (heat) is being taken in from surroundings in reaction
9 of 20
Thermal decomposition is an example of a ___ reaction
Endothermic
10 of 20
In endothermic reaction, products have ___ energy then reactants
More (energy is being taken in)
11 of 20
What's activation energy?
Minimum energy particles require for reaction to take place
12 of 20
Why is activation energy required?
Particles need energy to collide efficiently so they can react
13 of 20
When calculating energy change, __othermic will always be a positive number, and __othermic will always be a negative
Endothermic is positive (shows gain of energy). Exothermic is negative (loss of energy)
14 of 20
What is required to break a bond?
Energy
15 of 20
So what kind of reaction is breaking bonds?
Endothermic
16 of 20
Making bonds releases energy so is a ___ reaction
Exothermic
17 of 20
Every chemical bond has an energy value that tells us...
Energy required to break bond
18 of 20
How do you calculate energy change (you'll be given energy values inn exam)
Reactant total energy value - product total energy value
19 of 20
If the energy change is a negative number, its a __ reaction because...
Exothermic because energy has been lost (released into surroundings)
