Study Notes
Chemical Reactions and Energy Changes
- All chemical reactions involve changes in energy.
- Energy can be absorbed or released from the system to the surroundings, or vice versa, according to the law of conservation of energy.
Endothermic Reactions: Energy Absorption
- Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings.
- The energy level of the products is higher than the energy level of the reactants.
- The system absorbs heat to break bonds.
- Examples: Cold packs, melting ice, photosynthesis.
Exothermic Reactions: Energy Release
- Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings.
- The energy level of the products is lower than the energy level of the reactants.
- The system releases heat as new bonds form.
- Examples: Combustion, freezing, bond formation.
Collision Theory and Activation Energy
- Reactions occur when reactant particles collide with sufficient energy.
- Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for a collision to result in a reaction.
Energy Level Diagrams: Visualizing Energy Changes
- Endothermic energy level diagrams show an upward slope from reactants to products, signifying energy absorption.
- Exothermic energy level diagrams show a downward slope from reactants to products, signifying energy release.
- Both diagrams show a peak representing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
