Chemical reactions in deoth Flashcards
Is photosynthesis endothermic or exothermic explain why?
Endothermic because light energy from the sun is required for the reaction to proceed.
Is respiration endothermic or exothermic
Exothermic because the process of glucose bieng broken down results in a release of energy
In exothermic reactions the products have **** energy than the reactants
Less
In endothermic reactions the products have **** energy than reactants
More
define acids
A substance that releases h+ ions
define bases
A substance that releases OH- ions
Neutralisation reactions
Acid+ Base= salt + water
Acid+metal reactions
acid+metal=salt+hydrogen
Metal+oxygen reactions
Metal+oxygen= Metal oxide
Combustion reaction
Hydrocarbon+oxygen= Carbon dioxide+water
Incomplete combustion
Hydrocarbon + Limited oxygen= Carbon monoxide +carbon+water
