Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

This video tutorial, led by Dr. English, covers the representation of energy in chemical reactions, focusing on exothermic and endothermic reactions. It explains how to write chemical equations for these reactions, using reference tables to determine the heat of reaction. The tutorial includes examples of exothermic reactions, such as the formation of ammonia, and endothermic reactions, like the formation of acetylene. It also provides practice questions to reinforce the concepts discussed.
