Exothermic And Endothermic Reactions

?
Where does exothermic reaction transfer energy from and to?
Exothermic reactions transfer energy from the REACTING MOLECULES to the SURROUNDINGS e.g. wood burning
1 of 16
In exothermic reactions what happens to the surrounding temperature?
Exothermic reactions the temperature of surroundings increase so they get hotter
2 of 16
Name examples of exothermic reactions?
- Combustion - Oxidation - Neutralisation
3 of 16
Exothermic= energy profile diagram where are the reactants and products?
In exothermic energy profile diagram reactants at the top and products at the bottom
4 of 16
In exothermic reactions what is the energy like between reactants and products?
Products have less energy than reactants in exothermic reactions
5 of 16
Why is there less energy for products than the reactants in exothermic?
In exothermic reactions there is less energy for the products as the energy is being TRANSFERRED from the reaction to surrounding
6 of 16
On energy profile diagram how do you know the amount of energy being released to surroundings foe exothermic?
Exothermic reaction on the diagram the distance of reactants and products tells us the amount
7 of 16
What are exothermic reactions useful for?
Exothemric reaction are useful for= - Hand warmers -Self-heating cans e.g. food / drink
8 of 16
What do endothermic reactions do with energy?
In endothermic reactions they TAKE IN energy from their surroundings
9 of 16
What happens to the surrounding temperature in endothermic reactions?
In endothermic reactions the temperature of surroundings decreases so they get colder
10 of 16
Endothermic reactions energy profile diagram where are products + reactant positioned?
Endothermic diagram reactants are at the bottom and the products are at the top
11 of 16
IN endothermic reactions what happens with energy between products + reactants?
Endothermic products have MORE energy than reactants
12 of 16
How to find the difference of energy being transferred?
Difference draw dotted line - - - between reactants and products
13 of 16
What is meant by activation energy?
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy particles must have in order to react
14 of 16
AE = when do reaction occur?
Reactions only occur when particles collide with each other with sufficient energy
15 of 16
Where to see AE on diagram? + How to measure AE on ex/end graph?
Found at peak of slope on diagram + Exothermic and endothermic dotted line between reactant and peak show amount of AE
