Q

If the energy change on an energy level diagram is negative, is this an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

A

Exothermic reactions have a negative energy change because they release/lose energy.

A
  • change the electrodes
  • change the electrolyte
22
Q

What do catalysts do to the activation energy?

A

Catalysts increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energy

23
Q

What is a battery?

A

A battery contains 2 or more cells connected in series, to produce a greater voltage.

24
Q

What is a chemical cell?

A

A chemical cell is a source of electrical energy.

25
Q

What is a fuel cell?

A

A fuel cell is an electrical cell that’s supplied with a fuel and oxygen which uses energy from the reaction between them to provide electrical energy efficiently.

26
Q

What is a reaction profile diagram?

A

Reaction profiles are diagrams that show the energies of the reactants and products in a reaction and how they change over the course of the reaction.

27
Q

What is activation energy?

A

Activation energy is the amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction

28
Q

What is an electrolyte?

A

A solution that can conduct electricity, usually an ionic compound

29
Q

What is an endothermic reaction?

A

An endothermic reaction is a reaction where energy is drawn in from the surroundings, causing the surroundings and object to cool down.

30
Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

An exothermic reaction is a reaction which cools itself down, giving heat to the surroundings.

31
Q

What is an instant cold ice pack an example of?
