Exo And Endo Reactions, req PRAC Flashcards
Req PRAC of variables that affect temp changes in reacting solutions
1) set up equipment
2) take temp of acid
3) add metal powder and stir
4) record highest temp the reaction mixture reaches
5) calculate temp change
6) repeat exp using different metal
Mistakes and consideration
-should be a correlation between reactivity of metal and temp change
Hazards and risks
Low risk of a corrosive acid damaging the experimenters eye, so use eye protection
For bonds to be broken
The reacting particles must collide with sufficient energy
What is activation energy
-Minimum amount of energy that particles must have for a reaction to take place
What does a catalyst do the activation energy
Reduces activation energy
