At the end of lesson students should be able to

 Describe the meaning of exothermic and

endothermic reactions
 use the concept of energy in bond breaking and
bond making to explain why one reaction can be
endothermic and another reaction can be
exothermic.
 Interpret energy level diagrams showing
exothermic and endothermic reactions
 What is a chemical reaction? What
happens to the bonds that hold atoms
together in a chemical reaction?
 How do you know that a chemical
reaction is taking place?
 What is law of conservation of energy?
 What happens when a paper is burnt?
 Does a paper has energy stored in it?
What happens to that energy?
 An endothermic reaction is one which
take in heat energy from the
surroundings.
 The temperature of the surroundings
decreases.
 H is positive.
 Charcoal burning, bond breaking
 Candle burning, bond making
 Fire work exploding
 Ice melting
 Burning wood
 Ice melting
 Freezing
 Boiling
 Photosynthesis
 Respiration
 Combustion of fuels
 Thermal decomposition of CaCO3 & CuCO3
 Interpret
energy level diagrams showing
exothermic and endothermic reactions

 Draw and label energy level diagrams

for exothermic and endothermic
reactions using data provided

 Activation
energy is the energy particles
possess for a chemical reaction to occur.
 The minimum amount of energy that
reactant particles must possess in order
to occur a chemical reaction.

 Reactants particles collide to form

product particles. If reactant particles
have less energy than the activation
energy, it cannot break bonds.
 The heat of a reaction is -467 kJ. State three
deductions that can be made from this
statement.
 The equation for the reaction between
hydrogen and Fluorine to form hydrogen
Fluoride is shown below:
 H2 (g) + F2(g) 2HF (g) H = -542kJ
 Draw an energy level diagram for this
reaction Is this reaction exothermic or
endothermic reaction?
At the end of lesson students should be
able to

Calculate the energy change of a reaction

using bond energies.
 The energy change in a reaction can be
calculated using bond energies. A bond energy
is the amount of energy needed to break
one mole of a particular covalent bond.

This is the amount of energy consumed or
liberated when a bond is broken or formed in
kJ/mol
∆E = Energy in – Energy out
If overall heat energy is negative, reaction is
exothermic.
If overall heat energy is positive, reaction is
endothermic.
