16
Q

16) How can you calculate the energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction?

A

• Energy must be supplied to break bonds in the reactants • Energy is released when bonds are formed in the products • Sum of energy required to break the bonds - Sum of energy released making new bonds

17
Q

16) How can you tell if the reaction is exothermic? (2 marks)

A

The overall energy change will be NEGATIVE as the amount of energy released is greater than the energy required to break the bonds.

18
Q

17) How can you tell if the reaction is endothermic? (2 marks)

A

The overall energy change will be POSITIVE as the amount of energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released in forming the products

19
Q

18) What is a cell? (2 marks)

A

Cells contain chemicals which react to produce electricity

20
Q

19) What is the voltage of a cell dependent upon? (2 marks)

A

• The type of electrode • The electrolyte

21
Q

20) How can you make a basic cell? (2 marks)

A

By connecting two different metals in contact with an electrolyte

22
Q

21) What is a battery? (2 marks)

A

Two or more cells connected together to provide greater voltage

23
Q

22) What happens in non-rechargeable cells? (1 mark)

A

• The reactions stop when one of the chemicals is used up • Alkaline batteries are non-rechargeable

24
Q

23) How are rechargeable cells able to be recharged? (1 mark)

A

The chemical reactions are reversed when an external electrical current is supplied

25
Q

24) How does the difference in reactivity between affect the voltage of the cell? (1 mark)

A

The greater the difference in reactivity, the greater the voltage

26
Q

25) What is an example of external fuel for a fuel cell? (1 mark)

A

Hydrogen and Oxygen (or air)

27
Q

26) What happens to the fuel in order to produce a potential difference? (2 marks)

A

The fuel is oxidised electrochemically

28
Q

27) What is the overall reaction in a hydrogen fuel cell? (2 marks)

A

Hydrogen is oxidised to produce water (no pollution/carbon dioxide) PIC
