What happens to the temperature of the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?
Increases
What is an example of an exothermic reaction?
Burning of fuels
In an endothermic reaction, energy is
absorbed
Exothermic reactions have a positive enthalpy change (ΔH > 0).
False
What is an example of an endothermic reaction?
Photosynthesis
What happens to the temperature of the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?
Increases
The enthalpy change (ΔH) for exothermic reactions is always
negative
Sequence the steps involved in an exothermic reaction
1️⃣ Energy is released to the surroundings
2️⃣ The temperature of the surroundings increases
3️⃣ The enthalpy change becomes negative
An exothermic reaction releases
energy
Endothermic reactions cause the temperature of the surroundings to
decrease
Exothermic reactions have a positive enthalpy change (ΔH > 0).
False
The sign of enthalpy change (ΔH) for an exothermic reaction is
negative
Endothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings.
False
What is the sign of enthalpy change (ΔH) for an endothermic reaction?
Positive
Match the type of reaction with its characteristics:
Exothermic ↔️ Releases energy ||| ΔH < 0
Endothermic ↔️ Absorbs energy ||| ΔH > 0
In an exothermic reaction, the temperature of the surroundings
increases
Exothermic
reactions release energy to the surroundings.
True
Give an example of an exothermic reaction.
Burning of fuels
Exothermic reactions increase the
temperature
of the surroundings.
True
What is the sign of enthalpy change (ΔH) for endothermic reactions?
Positive
Provide an example of an endothermic reaction.
Photosynthesis
Exothermic reactions release energy, resulting in a
negative
enthalpy change.
Endothermic
reactions
absorb energy from the surroundings.
True
What is the sign of enthalpy change (ΔH) for exothermic reactions?
Negative
Endothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings.
absorb
Photosynthesis is an example of an
endothermic
reaction.
True
Exothermic reactions release energy and cause the temperature of the surroundings to
increase
Enthalpy change (
ΔH
) is a measure of the energy change during a chemical reaction.
True
Enthalpy Change (ΔH) is a measure of the energy change during a chemical
reaction
Endothermic reactions have a positive enthalpy change (ΔH < 0).
False
Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings, causing the
temperature
to increase.
True
Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, causing the
temperature
to decrease.
True
Exothermic reactions release energy, while endothermic reactions absorb energy.
True
The enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative for
exothermic
reactions.
Exothermic reactions are characterized by a positive enthalpy change (ΔH > 0).
False
Exothermic reactions always result in a decrease in temperature.
False
In exothermic reactions, the temperature of the surroundings
increases
The enthalpy change (
ΔH
) for exothermic reactions is negative.
True
