Q & A
What is an exothermic reaction?
-An exothermic reaction is a chemical process where energy is transferred from the reacting molecules to the surroundings, causing an increase in the temperature of the surroundings.
What is an endothermic reaction?
-An endothermic reaction is a chemical process that absorbs energy from the surroundings, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the surroundings.
How can you represent the energy changes in a chemical reaction?
-Energy changes in a chemical reaction can be represented by drawing an energy profile diagram, which shows the relative energy levels of reactants and products.
What is the significance of the activation energy in a chemical reaction?
-Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that particles must have in order to react. It is the energy required for the reactants to reach the peak of the energy profile curve, where the reaction can proceed.
What are some examples of exothermic reactions mentioned in the script?
-Examples of exothermic reactions include combustion (burning), certain oxidation reactions, and neutralization reactions.
What are some practical applications of exothermic reactions?
-Exothermic reactions are used in hand-warmers and self-heating containers for food or drinks, where heat is released as a result of the reaction.
What is the energy profile of an exothermic reaction?
-In the energy profile of an exothermic reaction, the products have less energy than the reactants, indicating that energy has been released to the surroundings.
What is the energy profile of an endothermic reaction?
-In the energy profile of an endothermic reaction, the products have more energy than the reactants, indicating that energy has been absorbed from the surroundings.
How can you label an energy profile diagram showing the energy change?
-You can label an energy profile diagram by indicating the energy levels of reactants and products and the amount of energy released or absorbed during the reaction.
Can you represent activation energy on an energy profile diagram?
-Yes, activation energy can be represented on an energy profile diagram as the energy required to reach the peak of the curve, which is the point at which the reaction occurs.
What is the common feature in the energy profiles of both exothermic and endothermic reactions?
-The common feature in the energy profiles of both types of reactions is the presence of a peak, which represents the activation energy needed for the reaction to proceed.
Outlines
🔥 Exothermic Reactions and Energy Transfer
This paragraph introduces the concept of exothermic reactions, where energy is transferred from the reacting molecules to the surroundings, causing an increase in temperature. The script uses the example of wood burning to illustrate this point. It also mentions that combustion and certain oxidation and neutralization reactions are exothermic. The energy changes in these reactions are represented by energy profile diagrams, which show that the products have less energy than the reactants due to the energy release. Practical applications of exothermic reactions are highlighted, such as in hand-warmers and self-heating containers for food or drinks.
🌡 Endothermic Reactions and Energy Absorption
The paragraph discusses endothermic reactions, which absorb energy from the surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature. An example of an endothermic reaction is thermal decomposition, which will be covered in more detail in a later video. The energy profile diagram for endothermic reactions is presented, showing that the products have more energy than the reactants because energy has been absorbed. The paragraph emphasizes the common feature of energy profiles for both types of reactions, where energy rises to a peak, known as activation energy.
⚡ Activation Energy and Reaction Dynamics
This section delves into the concept of activation energy, which is the minimum energy required for particles to react upon collision. It explains that reactions can only occur when particles collide with sufficient energy to overcome this threshold. The activation energy is represented on energy profile diagrams as the energy from the reactants to the peak of the curve. The paragraph also mentions that the activation energy is a key point that could be tested in exams, and it encourages students to practice representing it on energy profile diagrams. The script ends with a reference to a revision workbook for further practice on exothermic and endothermic reactions and energy profiles.

hi and welcome back to three science
lessons code okay by the end of this
video you should be able to describe
what's meant by an exothermic or an
endothermic reaction
you should then be able to draw energy
profiles showing exothermic and
endothermic reactions and finally you
should be able to describe what's meant
by the activation energy for reaction
let's start by looking at x of them
reactions I'm showing you an exothermic
reaction here this shows wood burning
now the key fact about exothermic
reactions is that they transfer energy
from the reacting molecules to the
surroundings so that means that an
exothermic reactions the temperature of
the surroundings increases in other
words the surroundings get hotter now
we've already seen that combustion in
other words burning is an exothermic
reaction other exothermic reactions
include certain oxidation reactions our
neutralization it's worth learning these
examples as they could come up in your
exams and we're going to look at all of
these reactions and more detail in later
videos now scientists represent the
energy changes that take place in
reactions by drawing an energy profile
diagram I'm showing you here the energy
profile found exothermic reaction the
first thing to notice is that the
products have got less energy than the
reactants that's because energy has been
transferred from the reaction to the
surroundings the difference between the
energy of the reactants are the energy
of the product tells us the energy
that's been released to the surroundings
so I'm showing you that here in the exam
you could be asked to label an energy
profile diagram showing the energy
change now exothermic reactions can be
very useful and I'm showing you two uses
here we find exothermic reactions in
hand-warmers and we also find them in
self heating cons for example containing
food or drink
okay we're going to continue now by
looking at endothermic reactions
endothermic reactions take in energy
from their surroundings
so in the case of endothermic reactions
the temperature of the surroundings
decreases in other words they get colder
and a good example of an endothermic
reaction is thermal decomposition which
we look at in a later video I'm showing
you here the energy profile for an
endothermic reaction as you can see the
products have gotten more energy than
the reactants and that's because energy
has been taken in from the surroundings
the difference in energy between the
reactants and the product tells us the
amount of energy that's been taken in by
the reaction and I'm showing you that
here now if we look again at the energy
profiles for both exothermic and
endothermic reactions we can see they've
got something in common in both cases
the energy rises to a peak and I'm
showing you these here this is called
the activation energy and we're going to
look at that now the first key idea is
that reactions can only occur when the
particles collide with each other
and they have to do that with sufficient
energy the minimum amount of energy that
particles must have in order to react is
called the activation energy now you
could be asked to represent the
activation energy on an energy profile
diagram so let's look at how to do that
the activation energy is from the
reactants to the peak of the curve
here's the activation energy on the
exothermic energy profile and this shows
the activation energy on an endothermic
energy profile remember you'll find
plenty more questions on exothermic and
endothermic reactions and on reaction
energy profiles in my revision workbook
and you can get that by clicking on the
