1
New cards

exothermic reaction

energy is transferred to the surroundings

surrounding temperature increases

combustion, oxidation and neutralisation

negative energy change

2
New cards

endothermic reaction

energy is taken in from the surroundings

surrounding temperature decreases

thermal decomposition, reaction of citric acid

positive energy change

3
New cards

activation energy

minimum amount of energy that the particles need to react

4
New cards

reaction profile

reaction profile is a graph which shows the relative energies of reactants and products as well as the activation energy
