Energy In Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
What is an exothermic reaction?
A
A reaction which gives out energy
2
Q
What is an endothermic reaction?
A
A reaction that takes in energy
3
Q
What is the enthalpy change?
A
The overall change in energy in a reaction
4
Q
What is the equation for the amount of heat energy transferred?
A
Heat energy transferred = m X c X ΔT
m = mass c = specific heat capacity Δt = temperature change
