Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is an Exothermic Reaction | Exothermic reaction: is a reaction that gives off heat |
What happens when an Exothermic Reaction takes place | An increase in temperature is always observed when an exothermic reaction takes place |
What is an Endothermic Reaction | Endothermic reaction: is a reaction that takes in heat |
What happens when an Endothermic Reaction takes place | A Decrease in temperature is always observed when an endothermic reaction takes place |
What happens during a chemical reaction | During a chemical reaction, old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed |
Does breaking bonds require energy | Breaking bonds requires energy |
What type of reaction is bond breaking | Bond breaking is an endothermic reaction as energy is taken in |
What happens to energy when bonds are formed | Forming bonds releases energy |
What type of process is bond formation | Bond formation is an exothermic reaction as energy is given out |
What is Bond Energy | Bond energy is the energy required to break different bonds The units are kilojoules per mol (KJ/mol) |
What is the activation energy | Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy colliding particles must have in order for a reaction to occur |
In an exothermic reaction do products have less or more energy than the reactants | In an exothermic reaction the products have less energy than the reactants as the reaction has lost/released energy |
In an endothermic reaction do products have less or more energy than the reactants | In an endothermic reaction the products have more energy than the reactants as the reaction has gained energy |
HOW DOES A CATALYST AFFECT THE ACTIVATION ENERGY? | A catalyst lowers the activation energy This results in less energy being needed for a reaction to occur and hence increases the rate of a reaction |
What type of collision must take place for the formation of a product to take place | Particles of reactants collide during a chemical reaction. An effective collision is a collision that results in the formation of a product. |
