Q

What does the activation energy of the reverse reaction equal (exothermic)?

A

Activation energy of the forward reaction + total enthalpy change

32
Q

What happens to enthalpy change and activation energy and enthalpy change when a catalyst is added?

A

Activation energy is lowered but enthalpy change remains the same because reactant and product molecules still have the same energy the catalyst just provides an alternate reaction pathway with a lower activation enetgy

Q

What is the enthalpy change of an endothermic reaction?

A

+ve

34
Q

What does an endothermic energy profile look like?

A

35
Q

What does the activation energy of the reverse reaction equal (endothermic)?

A

Activation energy of the forward reaction - enthalpy change

36

37
Q

What is needed for the calorimetry set up?

A

Q

For what type of calorimetry would you use a polystyrene cup?

A

A reaction that takes place in solution

40

A

Energy change (J)

43

In calorimetry, what is the change in T?

A

Change in temperature in degrees celcius or degrees kelvin

46

A

1 cm^3 = 1g

47
