Energy in Chemical Reactions

2. Collision Theory of Reactions
A chemical reaction occurs when
collisions between molecules have sufficient energy to break the bonds in the reactants.
bonds between atoms of the reactants (N2 and O2) are broken and new bonds (NO) can form.

3. Activation Energy
The activation energy is the minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place.
When a collision provides energy equal to or greater than the activation energy, product can form.

4. Exothermic Reactions In an exothermic reaction, heat is released.
the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.
heat is a product.

5. Endothermic Reactions
In an endothermic reaction
Heat is absorbed.
The energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants.
Heat is a reactant (added).
N2(g) + O2 (g) kcal NO(g)

9. Rate of Reaction Reaction rate
is the speed at which reactant is used up.
is the speed at which product forms.
increases when temperature rises because reacting molecules move faster providing more colliding molecules with energy of activation.

10. Reaction Rate and Catalysts
A catalyst
increases the rate of a reaction.
lowers the energy of activation.
is not used up during the reaction.

1) increases ) decreases 3) no change
A. increasing the temperature.
B. removing some of the reactants.
C. adding a catalyst.
D. placing the reaction flask in ice.
E. increasing the concentration of one of the reactants.
