Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions Aims We are learning to: Know that energy changes can be measured in chemical reactions. Keywords Exothermic, endothermic, energy.

Learning Outcomes Must: State a definition for exothermic and endothermic. Should: Recognise an exothermic and endothermic reaction from a practical. Could : Explain the difference between endothermic and exothermic.

Reaction Videos Thermite Reaction. After adding one or more catalysts, iron oxide (rust) and aluminum react to produce elemental iron and aluminum oxide. So much heat is produced in this reaction that the iron becomes a liquid. The heat is so intense that the molten iron can be used to weld railroad tracks together. www.middleschoolchemistry.com/multimedia/chapter6/lesson7#thermite

Reaction Videos Nitrogen Triiodide Reaction This is a decomposition reaction where nitrogen triiodide decomposes into nitrogen gas and purple iodine vapor. Nitrogen triiodide crystals are so unstable that just a light touch will cause them to rapidly decompose generating a great deal of heat. www.middleschoolchemistry.com/multimedia/chapter6/lesson7#nitrogen_triiodide

Reaction Videos White Phosphorous Reaction. White phosphorous is dissolved in a solvent and spread on a piece of paper. When the solvent evaporates, the phosphorous reacts with oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction. www.middleschoolchemistry.com/multimedia/chapter6/lesson7#white_phosphorous  

Endothermic Reactions When the temperature of a chemical reaction decreases, the reaction is called an endothermic reaction. The first part of the word, endo, means in or into and thermic has to do with heat or energy. Endothermic reaction means that more energy goes into making the reaction happen than is released by the reaction. This leaves the reaction mixture at a lower temperature

Exothermic Reactions In an exothermic reaction it takes less energy to break the bonds of the reactants than is released when the bonds in the products are formed. In an exothermic reaction, the temperature goes up.

Temperature Experiments Carry out the experiments on the Weebly to investigate whether they are Exothermic or Endothermic

Exothermic Endothermic Chemical reactions where HEAT… Is transferred to the surroundings… Indicated by a RISE in temperature Chemical reactions where HEAT… Is transferred from the surroundings … Indicated by a FALL in temperature

Conclusion Write in a sentence which reactions are endothermic and which are exothermic.

Exothermic Endothermic Need to make bonds so take in energy, reducing the temperature. Break bonds which releases heat energy.
