8. energy changes in reactions Flashcards
exothermic reaction
give out thermal energy to their surroundings
exothermic energy level diagram
the products have less energy than the reactants do so energy has been given out
endothermic reactions
take in thermal energy from their surroundings
endothermic energy level diagram
the products have more energy than the reactants do so energy has been taken in
reaction pathway diagrams

activation energy
is the minimum energy that colliding particles must have in order to react
enthalpy change in a reaction
energy in for bond breaking - energy out from bond making
bond energy
is the energy needed to break bonds or released when the same bonds form (kJ/mol)
hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell
uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity where the only chemical product is water
hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell redox reaction
(check tb image + adv disadv)
hydrogen gives up electrons at anode and is oxidised : 2H2 –> 4H+ + 4e-
oxygen accepts electrons at cathode and is reduced : o2 + 4H+ + 4e- –> 2H2O
