1. Chemistry Chapter 5 – Energy changes– endo/exothermic reaction, energy profiles and bond energies
Define the terms:
Endothermic reaction
Exothermic reaction
Activation energy
Draw and label an energy profile diagram for an exothermic reaction.
Complete the sentences below:
Breaking bonds is an _____________________ process.
Making bonds is an ____________________ process.
HIGHER TIER: Write the equation to calculate the bond energy.
HIGHER TIER: To decided if a chemical reaction is exothermic or endothermic the amount of energy needed to break/make these bonds must be compared. If a negative sign is in front of the total energy released this means the reaction is exothermic.
Calculate the bond energies and state if the reaction is endo or exothermic.
H-H kJ/mol C=O kJ/mol
Cl-Cl 242kJ/mol O=H kJ/mol
C=O 1072kJ/mol H-Cl kJ/mol
H2 + Cl2  2HCl
H2 + CO2  H2O + CO
Give examples for the below reactions:
Endothermic reaction
Exothermic reaction
Draw and label energy profile diagram for an endothermic reaction.
Describe the 2 outcomes that can occur when particles collide.
