12 June 2014 5.1 Exothermic and endothermic reactions • Energy is involved in chemical reactions. • Energy changes in a chemical reaction can be measured. The space shuttle main engines burn hydrogen and oxygen in an exothermic reaction at 3400°C. The three engines produce the equivalent of 37 million horsepower!
magnesium Hydrochloric acid Exothermic reactions • Exothermic reactions give out heat to the surroundings e.g. burning, respiration How can you tell a reaction is exothermic? 45o C 25o C Gets hot Heat energy given out
Endothermic Reactions Heat energy taken in as the mixture returns back to room temp. Ammonium nitrate Water Endothermic reactions cause a decrease in temperature. Cools Starts 25°C Cools to 5°C Returns to 25°C
Measuring energy changes Method • Measure 25 cm3 of copper sulfate solution (HARMFUL) into the coffee cup. • Measure the temperature every 30 seconds for two minutes. • Add 1 g of zinc powder (FLAMMABLE) to the cup and quickly put on the lid and stir constantly. • Take the temperature every 20 seconds for three more minutes. Results Draw a results table to show the temperature changes over 5 minutes.
Questions • Plot your results as a graph. What do you notice about the temperature during the reaction? • Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic? How do you know? • How could you improve this experiment? Think about where heat may be lost.
12 June 2014 5.1 Exothermic and endothermic reactions Most students should be able to: • State a definition for exothermic and endothermic reactions. • List one example of an exothermic and endothermic reaction. • Recognise an endothermic or exothermic reaction when data is given. • Describe how a reaction can be monitored for its energy changes. Some students should also be able to: • Explain the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions. Quiz next
