New cards

Exothermic

energy is transferred to surroundings

2
New cards

What are examples of an exothermic reaction?

  • combustion reactions

  • many oxidation reactions

  • most neutralisation reactions

  • respiration

3
New cards

Combustion

the process of burning by heat

4
New cards

oxidation

the gain of oxygen, or loss of electrons, by a substance during a chemical reaction.

5
New cards

neutralisation reactions

The reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt plus water.

6
New cards

Endothermic

energy is taken in from surroundings

7
New cards

Examples of an endothermic reaction

  • thermal decomposition reactions

  • photosynthesis

  • instant ice packs

8
New cards

thermal decomposition

a compound breaks down to form two or more substances when it is heated

New cards

activation energy

The minimum amount of energy that colliding particles must have for them to react.

12
New cards

What type of reaction breaks bonds?

endothermic

13

What type of reaction forms bonds?

exothermic

How do you calculate energy change?

  • add together the bond energies for all the bonds in the reactants - this is the 'energy in'

  • add together the bond energies for all the bonds in the products - this is the 'energy out'

  • energy change = energy in - energy out
