Chemistry Unit 3 Day 1

Learning Objective: Students will learn about energy and chemical reactions by doing a foldable and will desribe the relationship between energy and reactions in writing using enthalpy, entropy, spontaneous reaction, temperature, pressure, activation energy.

Questions:

  1. What do you think makes chemical reactions happen? (brain)
  2. What is thermodynamics? (book)
  3. What is the thermal energy of a system?

Answer Choices for number 3:
  • A. The number of molecules in a system
  • B. The average speed of molecules in a system
  • C. The total kinetic energy within a system
  • D. The total mass of molecules in a system
Exit Ticket for Day 1: 
  • Suppose you had to explain energy and chemical reactions to a classmate, what would you tell them? 
  • What would be the most difficult thing to explain?
