Chapter 17 Energy Changes

Test Yourself 17.1 (page 334)

1. Ÿ It is an exothermic reaction.
Ÿ Heat is transferred from the reactants to the surroundings.
Ÿ The temperature of the reaction mixture rises.

2. (a)

(b) This is an endothermic reaction because energy in the form of heat is taken in to break down
hydrogen fluoride into hydrogen and fluorine.

Test Yourself 17.2 (page 338)

1. (a) Positive
(b) Positive
(c) Positive
(d) Positive
(e) Negative

2. (a) Total energy absorbed for bond breaking = 945 + (3 × 436)


= 2253 kJ

Total energy released during bond making = 2 × (3 × 391)


= 2346 kJ

∆H = 2253 – 2346 = –93 kJ

(b)

(a) H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2HCl(g)


(b) UV light provides the activation energy needed to start the chemical reaction between hydrogen and
chlorine.
(c) The reaction should be exothermic because heat is produced when the mixture of hydrogen and
chlorine reacts explosively.
(d)

Test Yourself 17.4 (page 344)

1. Similarities:
• Both are exothermic reactions.
• Oxygen is required in both reactions.

Differences:
• In combustion, light energy is also liberated. In rusting, no light energy is involved.
• Rusting is a slow reaction compared to combustion.
• Combustion requires oxygen only whereas rusting requires both oxygen and water.
[Any one answer]

2. (a) A hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell is a chemical cell which uses hydrogen as the fuel.
Hydrogen and oxygen is passed through a chemical cell containing carbon electrodes.
An electric current is produced by the following reactions at the electrodes.
– –
At the cathode : O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e g 4OH (aq)
– –
At the anode : 2H2(g) + 4OH (aq) g 4H2O(l) + 4e
Overall reaction: O2(g) + 2H2(g) g 2H2O(l)
(b) Ÿ No pollutants are formed as water is the only product.
Ÿ Hydrogen is a renewable source of energy.

(c)

(d) The energy required to break the bonds in the hydrogen and oxygen molecules is less than the
energy given out during the formation of O–H bonds. Hence this reaction is exothermic.

Get it Right (page 346)

(a) False. Both chemical reactions and physical processes undergo exothermic and endothermic
changes.
(b) False. In exothermic reactions, the products have less energy than the reactants.
(c) True
(d) True
(e) True
(f) False. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that colliding particles must possess in
order for a reaction to proceed.
(g) False. ∆H is always negative for the combustion of fuels.

(h) False. In the hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell, oxygen is reduced to form OH ions at the positive
electrode.
