Chemistry 5.1.1 Flashcards
Why do Chemical Reactions occur?
So Atoms can become stable.
How do Atoms get a full Outer Shell to be Stable?
Chemical Bonding.
Define ‘System’:
What happens in the Chemical Reaction.
In the majority of Reactions, Energy is Present in the form of…
Heat Energy.
Type of Reaction where less Energy is Taken In, and more Energy is Released Out.
Exothermic.
Type of Reaction where more Energy is Taken in, and less Energy is Released out.
Endothermic.
Type of Reaction where the Temperature of the Surroundings Increases:
Exothermic.
Type of Reaction where the Temperature of the Surroundings Decreases:
Endothermic.
3 Examples of Exothermic Reactions:
-Combustion
-Oxidation
-Neutralisation
Hand warmers are based on the Release of Heat from an ___ Reaction.
Exothermic.
3 Examples of Endothermic Reactions:
-Electrolysis
-Photosynthesis
-Thermal Decomposition
Cold Ice packs are based on ___ Reaction’s ability to take in Heat from the surroundings.
Endothermic.
What can be used to measure the change in Heat in a Reaction?
Thermometer.
Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only Transferred.
Why do the Products in an Exo. React. have less Energy than the Reactants?
Because in Exo. React., Energy is Transferred to the surroundings.
