Q

What is a reaction profile

A

Reaction profiles show the progress of reaction on the x axis and the energy level on the y axis. Reaction profiles will tell us

Activation energy of a reaction
Overall energy change happening as a result of the reaction
Amount of energy contained within the products and the reactants

16
Q

How do we use bond energies to find out if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic

A

Total bond energies of products - Total bond energies or reactants

17
Q

What does making bonds require

A

Releasing energy
Bond making = exothermic reaction

18
Q

How do we know if it is an exothermic reaction

A

Amount of bonds made is more than the amount of bonds broken

The overall energy change is a negative value, meaning it is less than 0

19
Q

What does bond breaking require

A

Energy.
Bond breaking = exothermic reaction

20
Q

How do we know if it is an endothermic reaction

A

Amount of bonds made is less than the amount of bonds broken

The overall energy change is a positive value, meaning it is more than 0
