SC19a Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions Flashcards
What happens during chemical reactions (energy)?
energy is transferred between the surroundings and the reactants during chemical reactants
how is energy often transferred in chemical reactions?
by heating
exothermic reactions?
energy is transferred from stored of energy in chemical bonds to the surroundings
what happens to temperature in exothermic reaction?
increases
endothermic reaction?
energy is transferred from the surroundings to stores of energy in chemical bonds
what happens to temperature in a endothermic reaction?
decrease
what do reaction profiles show?
the energy change during chemical reactions
what type of reaction is salts dissolving in water?
endothermic or exothermic
what type of reaction is neutralisation reaction?
exothermic
how to improve experiments involving temperature change in an exothermic reaction?
~add a lid to reduce heat transfer
~use a larger amount of reactant to increase temp changes observed
what type of reaction is a precipitation reaction?
exothermic or endothermic
what happens in precipitation reactions
an insoluble salt forms from two soluble salts
what type of reaction is a displacement reaction?
exothermic
what are displacement reactions between?
~metal and a compound of a less reactive metal
~halogen and a compound containing a less reactive halogen
