C3 Flashcards
Endothermic reaction + examples
More energy transferred to break bonds than is transferred when products form
-photosynthesis
What happens to the reaction mixture in an endothermic reaction?
Temp of reaction decreases
Exothermic reaction + examples
less energy transferred to break bonds, more transferred when new bonds form
- combustion
- neutralisation
Reaction profile for ENDOTHERMIC and energy change
Reactants BELOW products, positive
Reaction profile for EXOTHERMIC and energy change
Reactants ABOVE products, negative
How to calculate energy change
energy transferred to break bonds - energy transferred when bonds make
-, negative energy change
EXOTHERMIC
+, positive energy change
ENDOTHERMIC
dilute acid
low ratio of acid to volume of solution
concentrated acid
high ratio of acid to volume of solution
weak acids
partially ionised. only a small fraction of their molecules release H+ ions
strong acids
full ionised. all molecules release H+ ions
pH + concentration of H+ ions relationship
concentration of H+ decreasing by a FACTOR 10 = increases pH by 1
base
usually a metal oxide/hydroxide that can NEUTRALISE ACIDS
alkali
bases that can dissolve in water
