C7 Flashcards
Where is energy conserved
In chemical reactions
What does exothermic mean
A reaction in which energy is transfered from the reacting substances to their surroundings
What does endothermic mean
A reaction in which energy is transfered to the reacting substances from their surroundings
Give examples when exithermic reactions can take place
Used in hand warmers and self heating cans
Endothermic examples
Can be used in instant cold packs for sports injuries
Is bond breaking endothermic or exothermic
Endothermic
In chemical reaction what must be supplied to break the bonds between atoms in the reactants
Energy
When new bonds are formed between atoms in a chemical reaction what is released
Energy
In an exothermic reaction is the energy released when new bonds are formed greater or smaller than the enerrgy required when bonds are broken
Greater
