C3.2.3 - Calculating energy changes Flashcards
1
Q
What is bond energy?
A
The energy needed to break 1mol of a particular bond
2
Q
How do you calculate the energy change in reactions?
A
Energy change = (energy transferred to break bonds) - (energy transferred when bonds are made)
3
Q
If the overall change is positive is it endothermic or exothermic?
A
Endothermic
4
Q
If the overall change is negative is it endothermic or exothermic?
A
Exothermic
