2. Chapter Eighteen: Energy and Reactions  18.1 Energy and Chemical Reactions  18.2 Chemical Reaction Systems  18.3 Nuclear Reactions

3. Chapter 18.1 Learning Goals  Contrast endothermic and exothermic reactions.  Explain why activation energy is needed to begin chemical reactions.  Describe what happens when ionic compounds are dissolved in water.

4. Investigation 18A  Key Question: How do chemical changes involve energy? Energy and Chemical Changes

5. Investigation 18B  Key Question:  Can we measure the heat released/energy absorbed by instant hot and cold packs? Thermodynamics of Hot Packs/ Cold Packs

6. 18.1 Energy and Reactions  Energy is involved in chemical reactions in two ways: 1.to break some (or all) bonds between atoms in the reactants so the atoms can form new bonds or 2.when the atoms or products form new bonds to make new products.

7. 18.1 Two Types of Reactions  We classify chemical reactions based on how the energy of the reactants compares to the energy of the products.

8. 18.1 Exothermic reactions  If forming new bonds releases more energy than it takes to break the old bonds, the reaction is exothermic.

9. 18.1 Exothermic reactions  A good example is the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen. Once started, exothermic reactions tend to keep going as each reaction releases more energy to fuel neighboring molecules.

10. 18.1 Endothermic reactions  If forming new bonds in the products releases less energy than it took to break the original bonds, the reaction is endothermic.

11. 18.1 Endothermic reactions  An important endothermic reaction is photosynthesis.  Plants need energy from sunlight to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

12. 18.1 Activation Energy  Activation energy is the energy needed to begin a reaction and break chemical bonds in the reactants.

13. 18.1 Activation Energy  This is why a flammable material like gasoline does not burn without a spark or flame.

15. 18.1 Carbon Reactions  Carbon dioxide and other atmospheric gases are called “greenhouse gases.” Scientists believe the rise in amount of greenhouse gases will result in rises in sea level and changes in weather.

16. 18.1 Examples of Endothermic Reactions  Most of the reactions used in industry to produce useful materials require more energy than they produce.  One process that uses endothermic reactions is the refining of ores to produce useful metals.

17. 18.1 Examples of Endothermic Reactions  Most of the reactions used in industry to produce useful materials require more energy than they produce.  The reaction taking place inside an instant cold pack is endothermic.

18. 18.1 Examples of Endothermic Reactions  When you squeeze the plastic bag the water reacts with the ammonium nitrate crystals, and the reaction dissolves the ionic bonds in the ammonium nitrate.

19. 18.1 Examples of Endothermic Reactions  The reaction is also a dissolution reaction.  Dissolution occurs when an ionic compound (like ammonium nitrate) dissolves in water to make an ionic solution.
