Explore the significance of chemical reactions in life, including the breaking and forming of bonds, release and absorption of energy, and the conservation of matter. Discover the role of activation energy and the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions.
E N D
Objectives for section 2-4 • Explain the importance of bonds breaking during a chemical reaction • Identify reactions that release or absorb energy.
Bonds break and form during chemical reactions (rxn). • Chemical rxns change substances into different ones by breaking and forming chemical bonds. • Reactants (left) are changed during a chemical reaction. • Products (right) are made by a chemical reaction.
Bond energy is the amount of energy that breaks a bond. • Energy is added to break bonds. • Energy is released when bonds form. • A reaction is at equilibrium when reactants and products form at the same rate. CO2 + H2O H2CO3
Chemical reactions release or absorb energy. • Activation energy is the amount of energy that needs to be absorbed to start a chemical reaction. • Examples?
Activation energy is minimum amount of energy needed for reactants to form products
Exothermic reactions release more energy than they absorb. • Reactants have higher bond energies than products. • Excess energy is released by the reaction. • Cellular respiration
Endothermic reactions absorb more energy than they release. • Reactants have lower bond energies than products. • Energy is absorbed by the reaction to make up the difference.
