1
Q

Which changes do changes in heat energy accompany?

A
  • Salt dissolving in water
  • Neutralisation reactions
  • Displacement reactions
  • Precipitation reactions
    • When these reaction take place in solution, temperature solution can be measured to reflect the heat changes

Q

Exothermic reaction:

A
  • a reaction where heat energy is given out to the surroundings so the temperature of the surroundings increases
  • makes bonds
  • temperature increases as chemical energy → thermal/heat energy

Q

Endothermic reaction:

A
  • a reaction where heat energy is taken in from the surroundings so the temperature of the surroundings decreases
  • breaks bonds
  • temperature decreases as thermal/heat energy → chemical energy

Q

How do you know if the overall heat energy change for a reaction is exothermic?

A
  • E is needed to break bonds and E is released when bonds are formed
  • the overall heat energy change for a reaction is exothermic if more heat is released in forming bonds in the products than is required in breaking bonds in the reactants

Q

How do you know if the overall heat energy change for a reaction is endothermic?

A
  • E is needed to break bonds and E is released when bonds are formed
  • the overall heat energy change for a reaction is endothermic if less heat energy is released in forming bonds in the products than is required in breaking bonds in the reactants

Q

Activation Energy:

A
  • the minimum amount of energy that particles must have for a reaction to take place
  • it is the minimum amount of energy with which the particles need to collide with to make the collisions successful

Q

What happens if particles do not reach the activation energy?

A

The particles may still collide, but they will simply just bounce of each other

Q

How does energy change in chemical reactions?

A

when chemical reactions occur and new substances are formed with different amounts of energy - energy can be exchanged with the surroundings and can be released or absorbed as heat

Q

Enthalpy change:

A
  • The difference between the energy of the reactants and the energy of the products - approximately the amount of energy lost or gained during the reaction
  • ΔH (“delta H”)

Q

How can you tell from the energy change whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic?

A
  • if the energy out > energy in, the energy change will be negative showing an exothermic reaction
  • if the energy out < energy in, the energy change will be positive showing an endothermic reaction
17
Q

Overall energy change of the reaction:

A

the difference between the sum of the energy needed to break bonds in the reactants and the sum of the energy released when bonds in the products are formed

18
Q

Reaction profile:

A
  • graphs used to show the relative energies of reactants and products
  • the activation energy and the overall energy change of a reaction

Q

How do you compare the temperature changes of a neutralisation reaction when 2 different acids are used to neutralise an alkali solution?

A
  • measure known volume of alkali solution
  • add same volume of each of the acids
  • stir the mixture
  • record the initial and final temperatures/temperature change
