Learning Objective: Students will learn about spontaneouschemical reactions using an inquiry simulation and willanalyze and interpret data in writing using technical vocabulary (entropy, enthalpy, energy diagram, reactants, products, activation energy).

Questions:

  1. What makes a chemical reaction spontaneous? (book)
  2. Would a spontaneous reaction happen faster or slower? why do you think? (brain)
  3. What does the entropy of a reaction describe?
Answer Choices for number 3:
  • A. The amount of heat present in the system
  • B. The amount of randomness in the system
  • C. The amount of usable energy in a reaction
  • D. The number of molecules in a system
