Chemistry: Exothermic and Endothermic Flashcards
1
Q
Outline how heat energy changes in an endothermic reaction
A
products end up with more heat energy than their reactants, heat energy has been
absorbed/gained from its surrounding
2
Q
Outline how heat energy changes in an exothermic reaction
A
products have less heat energy than their reactants, heat energy has been lost to its surroundings
3
Q
How is enthalpy change shown in an exothermic reaction?
A
with a negative enthalpy value
4
Q
How is enthalpy change shown in an endothermic reaction?
A
with a positive enthalpy value
