Energy Flashcards
What is an endothermic reaction?
A reaction in which heat is absorbed from the reactions surroundings which creates a TEMPERATURE DROP.
Is exothermic bond making or bond breaking?
Exothermic is bond making because energy is absorbed to make bonds.
Is endothermic bond making or bond breaking?
An endothermic reaction is bond breaking because it energy must be absorbed to break bonds.
How can you tell if a reaction is exothermic?
A reaction is exothermic if a higher amount of energy is released when making the bonds than the amount if energy absorbed to break the bonds.
How can you tell if a reaction is endothermic?
A reaction is endothermic if a higher amount of energy is absorbed to break bonds than the amount if energy released to make bonds.
How do you work out energy released by a fuel in a reaction?
M x c x 🔼T
How do you work out the energy released by a fuel per gram?
Mass of fuel burnt (g)
What is an exothermic reaction?
A reaction in which energy is released to the reactions surroundings in the form of heat. This causes a TEMPERATURE RISE.
