What would a reaction that gets cooler be known as?
Endothermic
1 of 8
Give an example of an exothermic reaction
Combustion- one that releases heat energy.
2 of 8
What energy change happens when bonds are broken?
Energy is ABSORBED.
3 of 8
What is the correct equation for the transfer of energy?
mass of water x 4.2 x temperature rise.
4 of 8
What type of reaction will occur if more energy is released when the bonds are made?
Exothermic.
5 of 8
When can a collision happen?
When the colliding partcles have enough energy. This is called activation energy
6 of 8
Reactions eventually stop. What is generally the reason for this?
Reactions stop when one or more of the reactants is used up.
7 of 8
Why would powdered magnesium react faster than magnesium ribbon?
Because the powder has a larger surface area and this speeds up the rate of a reaction
