1
New cards

heat of a reaction (delta H)

the net change of chemical potential energy of the system

2
New cards

exothermic reaction

reactions which transform chemical potential energy in thermal energy

3
New cards

endothermic reactions

reactions which transform thermal energy into chemical potential energy

4
New cards

activation energy

the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction OR the energy required to form the activated complex

5
New cards

activated complex

a high energy, unstable, temporary transition state between the reactants and the products

6
New cards

reaction rate

the change in concentration per unit time of either a reactant or product

7
New cards

catalyst

a substance that increases the rate of the reaction but remains unchanged at the end of the reaction
