    • combustion of methane

      CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
    • exothermic meaning

      heat/energy given out
    • endothermic meaning

      heat/ energy taken in
    • exothermic reaction examples

      combustion
      respiration
      neutralisation
    • endothermic reaction examples

      dissolving
      thermal decomposition
    • bendo mexo graph
    • exothermic graph explanation

      the amount of energy needed to break bonds is less than the energy released when new bonds are made
    • endothermic graph explanation 

      the energy needed to break bonds is higher than the energy released when new bonds are made
    • what is activation energy?
      the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur
    • energy is needed to break bonds and energy is released when new bonds are made
