In endothermic reactions, ΔH is…
+ve
Exothermic - which is at a lower energy, the products of reactants?
The products are at a lower energy
Exothermic - what does the difference in height represent?
The energy given out in the reaction
Exothermic - what does the initial rise in the line represent?
The energy needed to break the old bonds - activation energy
Exothermic - What does the graph look like?
Going from top left (reactants) to bottom right (products)
See graphs page 60
Ok
Endothermic - which is at a higher energy, the products or the reactants?
Products at a higher energy than the reactants
Endothermic - what does the difference in height represent?
The energy taken in during the reaction
Endothermic - what does the graph look like?
Going from bottom left (reactants) to top right (products)
Exothermic - what is the ΔH?
