Chemical Reactions and Energy Changes

The video tutorial explains energy changes in chemical reactions, focusing on endothermic and exothermic reactions. It covers the measurement of energy in joules and kilojoules, and provides examples of ethane combustion and aluminum reaction to illustrate energy calculations. Key concepts include Delta H, enthalpy change, and the characteristics of reactions that absorb or release energy.

What are the two main types of chemical reactions based on energy changes?

• Endothermic and Exothermic

• Combustion and Synthesis

• Decomposition and Displacement

• Oxidation and Reduction

In which unit is energy most commonly measured in chemical reactions?

• Kilojoules

• Joules

• Watts

• Calories

What happens to the energy of products compared to reactants in an endothermic reaction?

• Energy is released

• Energy remains the same

• Products have more energy

• Products have less energy

What is the sign of Delta H in an endothermic reaction?

• Positive

• Undefined

• Negative

• Zero

In an exothermic reaction, how does the energy of the products compare to the reactants?

• Energy remains constant

• Energy is absorbed

• Products have less energy

• Products have more energy

What is the sign of Delta H in an exothermic reaction?

• Negative

• Zero

• Positive

• Undefined
