Chemistry Unit 3 Day 5

Learning Objective: Students will learn about thermodynamics in chemical reactions by conducting a lab and will analyze and interpret their data in writing using technical vocabulary (exothermic, endothermic, spontaneous, enthalpy) and science ideas (energy transfer).


Questions:

1. What determines if reactions will be endothermic or exothermic? (brain)
2. What does the H of a reaction tell us? (book)
3. Which statement describes the potential energy diagram of an exothermic reaction?

Answer Choices for number 3:

	A. The potential energy of the products is equal to the potential energy of the reactants. B. The potential energy of the products is greater than the potential energy of the reactants. C. The potential energy of the reactants is greater than the potential energy of the products. D. The activation energy of the reactants is greater than the activation energy of the products.
