5 Reaction Profiles Flashcards
1
Q
What are the reaction profiles used to show
A
The relative energys of the reactants and products in the reaction
2
Q
How do you find the overall energy change for a reaction from a reaction profile
A
The difference in height from where the graphs starts to where it finishes
3
Q
How do you determine if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic using a reaction profile
A
Exo:
Reactants high-products low
Endo:
Reactants low-product high
4
Q
What’s the activation energy of a reaction
A
The minimum amount of energy that particles must have when they collide in order to react
5
Q
How do you find the activation energy of a reaction from a reaction profile
A
The difference in height from where the graph starts to the highest point on the curve
