What is standard condition?
The condition of the environment need for experiments
Standard Condition (Room Temperature)

Standard Condition (Pressure)
100 Kpa or 1 atm
What is activation energy?
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to form products
What happens in the reaction profile of an exothermic reaction?
The energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants because energy is released
What happens in the reaction profile of an endothermic reaction?
The energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants because energy is be taken in
What is exothermic?
Bond making
What is endothermic?
Bond breaking
Is the enthalpy of an endothermic reaction positive or negative?
Positive
Is the enthalpy of an exothermic reaction positive or negative?
Negative
Why is the enthalpy of an exothermic reaction positive?
Energy is released from the reaction when a bond is made
Why is the enthalpy of an endothermic reaction postive?
Where energy is taken in from the surroundings to break a bond
What is the system?
Where the reaction is occurring
What is the surroundings?
Where the energy of the reaction can transfer to?
