Lesson 2 b) Energetics
4.10 understand that chemical reactions in which heat
energy is given out are described as exothermic and those
in which heat energy is taken in are endothermic
Energetics 4.11 describe simple calorimetry experiments for
reactions such as combustion, displacement, dissolving
and neutralisation in which heat energy changes can be
calculated from measured temperature changes
4.12 calculate molar enthalpy change from heat energy
change
4.13 understand the use of ΔH to represent enthalpy
change for exothermic and endothermic reactions
4.14 represent exothermic and endothermic reactions on
a simple energy level diagram
4.15 understand that the breaking of bonds is
endothermic and that the making of bonds is exothermic
4.16 use average bond energies to calculate the enthalpy
change during a simple chemical reaction.
Exothermic and endothermic reactions
In an EXOTHERMIC
reaction, the
temperature goes
UP. Heat energy is
given OUT.
Exothermic and endothermic reactions
In an EXOTHERMIC In an ENDOTHERMIC
reaction, the reaction, the
temperature goes temperature goes
UP. Heat energy is DOWN. Heat energy
given OUT. is taken IN.

Loss of energy
Increasing energy
reaction, ∆H is negative.
This means that heat has
been lost from the
reaction.

Calculating enthalpy changes
Ethanol C2H5OH = 24 + 5 + 16 + 1 = 46
Calculating enthalpy changes
Ethanol C2H5OH = 24 + 5 + 16 + 1 = 46
Ethanol C2H5OH = 24 + 5 + 16 + 1 = 46
= 1369.2 kJ

REACTANTS PRODUCTS
More energy has to be put IN to break the old
bonds than is released when the new bonds are
formed.

REACTANTS PRODUCTS
More energy is given OUT when new bonds are
formed than is taken in when the old bonds are
broken.
Making and breaking bonds
Each type of bond (eg. C-C) has a specific bond
energy – it is the same whether the bond is being
made or broken.
