5 - Chemical Energetics Flashcards
What happens when a bond if formed or broken
energy is released or absorbed
What is the cooling curve? Explain using exothermic reactions
see card
exothermic reactions : energy is released , increasing temperature and stopping cooling process
What kind of reaction is it :
Ca CO3(S) ————> CaO+CO2(g)
see card
endothermic (decomposition of calcium carbonate)
Melting : endo or exothermic ?
endo
boiling : endo or exothermic ?
endo
condensing : endo or exothermic ?
exo
freezing : endo or exothermic ?
exo
Subliming : endo or exothermic ?
endo
depositing : endo or exothermic ?
exo
Define Activation energy
What is its symbol?
The minimum energy needed for a reaction as particules collide
Ea
Give 2 examples of exothermic reaction
Combustion
Neutralisation (of an acid)
Give 2 examples of endothermic reaction
Electrolysis
Melting
Draw/identify an advanced Reaction pathway diagram
label :
- energy
- progress of reaction
- reactions
- energy/ enthalpy change
- products
- activation energy
How does activation energy affect a reaction?
If low - reaction is fast
If high - reaction is slow
Define Enthalpy
The amount of energy required to break bonds.
Different bonds have different strengths, and so have different bond enthalpies
