Exothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings.
False
What is the temperature change observed in the surroundings during an endothermic reaction?
Decreases
How is energy transferred to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?
As heat
What do energy diagrams visually represent in exothermic and endothermic reactions?
Energy changes
During an exothermic reaction, energy is released to the surroundings, causing the temperature to
increase
In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the temperature to decrease.
True
Changes in the physical state of reactants or products can affect the
energy change
of a reaction.
True
Increasing the pressure affects the energy change of reactions, especially for
gases
.
True
Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, causing the temperature to
decrease
Match the reaction type with its energy and temperature changes:
Exothermic ↔️ Energy released, temperature increases
Endothermic ↔️ Energy absorbed, temperature decreases
Match the reaction type with its energy and temperature changes:
Exothermic ↔️ Energy released, temperature increases
Endothermic ↔️ Energy absorbed, temperature decreases
In an exothermic reaction, the reactants have higher
potential energy
than the products
True
In an endothermic reaction energy diagram, the movement from reactants to products is
upward
The enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive for endothermic reactions
True
What happens to the temperature of the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?
Increases
In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed from the surroundings in the form of
heat
In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed from the surroundings as
heat
The direction of energy flow in an endothermic reaction is from the surroundings to the
system
.
True
What does a downward arrow in an energy diagram for an exothermic reaction indicate?
Release of energy
In exothermic reactions, the reactants have a higher
potential energy
than the products.
True
In endothermic reactions, what is the energy relationship between reactants and products?
Products have higher energy
When chemical bonds are broken, energy is absorbed, making the process
endothermic
Which phase change releases more energy: water vapor condensing to liquid water or liquid water freezing to solid ice?
Water vapor condensing
Match the factor affecting energy change with its effect:
Bond breaking ↔️ Absorbs energy (endothermic)
Bond formation ↔️ Releases energy (exothermic)
Increased temperature ↔️ Generally increases energy change
In exothermic reactions, energy is released from the reactants, reducing the
potential energy
of the system.
True
In exothermic reactions, energy is released from the reactants to the
surroundings
In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed from the surroundings to increase the potential energy of the
system
In an exothermic reaction energy diagram, the movement from reactants to products is
downward
Match the factor affecting energy change with its effect:
Bond breaking ↔️ Absorbs energy (endothermic)
Bond formation ↔️ Releases energy (exothermic)
State changes ↔️ Increases or decreases energy change
Match the reaction type with a real-life example:
Exothermic ↔️ Combustion
Endothermic ↔️ Photosynthesis
What happens to the potential energy of the system in an exothermic reaction?
Decreases
In exothermic reactions, the potential energy of the system
decreases
The temperature of the surroundings increases during an endothermic reaction.
False
What happens to energy when chemical bonds are formed in a reaction?
Energy is released
Increasing the temperature generally increases the energy change of a reaction because it provides more
energy
What is the primary form of energy released in exothermic reactions?
Heat
What happens to the temperature of the surroundings in an endothermic reaction?
It decreases
Endothermic reactions increase the temperature of the surroundings
False
In an endothermic reaction, the products have lower potential energy than the reactants
False
The enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative for exothermic reactions, indicating energy is
released
