Energy and chemical change

    Cards (5)

    • Heat of Reaction (ΔH)

      Define heat of reaction (ΔH) as the energy absorbed or released (per mole) in a chemical reaction.
    • Exothermic Reactions
      reactions that release energy State that ΔH < 0 for exothermic reactions, i.e. reactions in which energy is released
    • Endothermic Reactions
      reactions that absorb energy o State that ΔH > 0 for endothermic reactions, i.e. reactions in which energy is absorbed
    • Activation Energy
      minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place
    • Activated Complex
      unstable transition state from reactants to products
