Exothermic Reactions
Energy, during a chemical reaction, transfers from one substance, to another to cause a change in the chemical formulas and surrounding area. Endothermic reactions absorb the surrounding heat when the chemical bonds are broken, resulting in the surrounding air and the chemical substance lack heat and appear cold. Exothermic reactions release heat when chemical bonds are formed, causing the chemical substance to heat up and the surrounding air to be considerably warmer. Water, ice, and gas are great examples of both endothermic and exothermic reactions. When water turns from ice to water, then water to gas, that is endothermic reactions because it is absorbing the heat from the surroundings. When it goes the opposite direction, it is exothermic

    Thermochemistry: Enthalpy Changes in Simple Processes

    The primary objective of this lab is to be able to determine the specific heat of a reaction by using a calorimeter. A calorimeter is a device used to determine the specific heat of chemical reaction or a physical change. The specific heat a reactions is used to refer to the amount of heat that is lost or gained when one gram of a particular substance increases or decreases by one degree Celsius. When a chemical reaction occurs in an open container most of the energy gained or lost is in the form of heat. Almost no work is done (i.e. nothing is being moved). Heat flows between the system and surroundings until the two are at the same temperature, when a chemical reaction occurs in which the system absorbs heat, the process is endothermic (it feels cold). When a chemical reaction occurs in which the system produces heat it is exothermic (it feels hot)…

    The chemicals will change temperature when a reaction occurs. If the chemicals feel warmer then the reaction is exothermic, heat is going out of the system. If the chemicals feel colder then the reaction is endothermic, heat is going into the system. Most spontaneous reactions are exothermic, but the reaction between Epsom salts and water is a simple endothermic reaction. Combustion is an exothermic reaction that usually requires some activation energy, such as lighting it with a match.…

    Experiment 5 Enthalpy of Chemical Reactions

    In the first part of this lab, the objective was to get the molar concentration of sodium hydroxide by using the secondary standard, sodium hydroxide solution with the primary standard, potassium hydrogen phthalate. With this information, we could create a second derivative plot, which can be used to obtain the exact concentration of the secondary standard, sodium hydroxide. Also, the indicator can give us these results along with the end points and with the readings from the pH meter; we can get the equivalence points.…

    Exothermic Reaction

    The aim of this study is to investigate students’ understanding of the energy concept in chemical reactions particularly in endothermic-exothermic reactions. Both qualitative and quantitative methodology was used for this investigation. A twenty-item multiple choice test was developed about the topic to measure the students’ understandings. This concept test was prepared based on students’ conceptual difficulties and misconceptions related to the energy in chemical reactions found in the literature. In addition, semi structured interviews were conducted to get deep knowledge about students’ perceptions.…
