GCSE Chemistry: Hybrid Topics

?
Exothermic
A reaction which transfers energy to the surroundings, usually by heating. This is shown by a rise in temperature.
1 of 15
Endothermic
A reaction which takes in energy from the surroundings. This is shown as a fall in temperature.
2 of 15
Activation Energy
The initial rise in temperature needed to start the reaction (Ea)
3 of 15
Collision Theory
The collision frequency of reacting particles & the energy transferred during a collision.
4 of 15
Rate
How fast/slow the reactants are changing into products.
5 of 15
Surface Area
The measure of how much exposed area a solid object has.
6 of 15
Energy Profile
Diagrams that show the relative energies of the reactants and products in a reaction and how the energy changes over the course of a reaction.
7 of 15
Reactants
These are the substances you react together.
8 of 15
Products
These are the substances you make (end up with).
9 of 15
Bonds
A link between atoms in molecules of compounds between ions, molecules & crystals.
10 of 15
What affects the rate of reactions?
Temperature, concentration of a solution/pressure of a gas, surface area & presence of a catalyst.
11 of 15
Overall Energy Change
Energy required to break bonds - Energy released by forming bonds.
12 of 15
Rate of Reaction
Amount of reactant used of Amount of product formed / Time
13 of 15
Mean Reaction Rate
Overall change in y value / total time taken
14 of 15
Gradient
Change in y / Change in x
