Exothermic reactions
Transfer energy from reacting molecules to surroundings, increasing temperature of surroundings
Examples of exothermic reactions
Certain oxidisation reactions, neutralisation, combustion
Energy profiles
A diagram that shows how energy is transferred
Exothermic reaction energy profile
How can Exothermic reactions be useful
Hand warmers, self heating cans
Endothermic reaction
Take thermal energy from surroundings, making the temperature cooler
Exothermic reaction energy profile
Activation energy
Chemical reactions only occur when particles collide with each other with sufficial energy
Activation energy
Minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur
