Starter – Match the words and meanings

Endothermic A 1 Minimum energy needed to start a reaction

Exothermic B 2 Takes in energy from the surroundings
Activation Energy C 3 Transfers energy to the surroundings
Electrolysis D 4 The energy it takes to make or break a bond KJ/mol
Oxidation E 5 Loss of electrons
Bond Energy F 6 Breaking up a compound using electricity

Main - We are going to look at how to work out the energy of a reaction using bond energies

Bond Bond Energy Bond Bond Energy Bond Bond Energy

(KJ/mol) (KJ/mol) (KJ/mol)
C-C 347 H-Cl 432 C-H 413
O=O 498 H-Br 362 C-Cl 346
C-O 358 Br-Br 190 Cl-Cl 243
C=O 799 H-O 464 H-H 436

H-H + Cl-Cl  2H-Cl

2 H-H + O=0  2H-O-H
