Quiz 1:   Fullscreen Mode Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions Chemical reactions can be classified into two main categories based on energy changes: exothermic reactions and endothermic reactions . Exothermic Reactions An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. During this reaction, the temperature of the surroundings increases due to the energy released. A common example of an exothermic reaction is the combustion of fuels, such as methane (CH₄). The combustion reaction of methane can be written as follows: CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) + ΔH Here, ΔH has a negative value, indicating that energy is released during this process. The combustion of methane in oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water, releasing about 728 kJ/mol of energy. Characteristics of Exothermic Reactions: Energy Released: Energy in the form of heat is released to the surround...

Quiz 1:   Fullscreen Mode Quiz 2:   Fullscreen Mode The Speed or Rate of the Reaction The Speed or Rate of the Reaction The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how quickly reactants are converted into products. In everyday life, reactions can vary significantly in speed; for instance, the formation of silver chloride precipitate when silver nitrate is mixed with sodium chloride occurs almost instantaneously, while the rusting of iron is a slow process that can take years. The rate of reaction can be quantified by measuring the change in concentration of reactants or products over time. For example, when zinc (Zn) reacts with sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ), the rate can be assessed by the volume of hydrogen gas (H 2 ) produced per unit time. One of the simplest methods to determine the rate of reaction is to measure the volume of gas produced using a gas syringe. Various factors influence the rate of reaction, includin...

If the bulb lights up, the substance is a conductor. If the bulb does not light up, the substance is an insulator. Testing Results Metals and graphite are solid conductors: Example: Tin conducts electricity when tested. Reason: The presence of free electrons that can move. Molecular substances do not conduct electricity: Example: Ethanol does not conduct electricity when tested. Reason: There are no charged particles that can move freely. Ionic substances have special proper...

Theory and Formulas In a redox reaction, one substance is oxidized (loses electrons) while another is reduced (gains electrons). This process can be represented through half-equations that show the electron transfer. General Redox Reaction Equation: $$ \text{Oxidation: } A \rightarrow A^{n+} + ne^- $$ $$ \text{Reduction: } B^{m+} + ne^- \rightarrow B $$ Example of Redox Reaction The reaction between magnesium an...
