Difference between Exothermic and Endothermic reaction

Answer»

Chemical reaction that release energy in the form of heat, light and sound are called exothermic reaction.Reaction that observed energy or required energy in order to proceed is called endothermic reaction

Exothermic reaction :An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat.It gives net energy to its surroundings. That is, the energy needed to initiate the reaction is less than the energy that is subsequently released.

reactants → products + energyExamples of exothermic reactions:

Calcium oxide reacts vigorously with water to produce slaked lime(Calcium hydroxide) used in white washing releasing large amount of heat.

Burning of natural gas:when methane reacts with oxygen it releases vast amount of heat and cabon oxide and water.

2. Endothermic reaction :An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment.

reactants + energy → productsExample of endothermic reactions :

Melting of ice: Ice takes heat from the surroundings and turns in to liquid water.

Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate: When limestone is heated at above 900ºC it decomposes into quick lime and releases carbondioxide. CaCO3(limestone)-------------> CaO(quick lime) + CO2

1203.

Differentiate between exothermic and endothermic reaction? with example

Answer»

Many chemical reactions release energy in the form of heat, light, or sound. These areexothermic reactions. Exothermic reactions may occur spontaneously and result in higher randomness orentropy(ΔS > 0) of the system. They are denoted by a negative heat flow (heat is lost to the surroundings) and decrease in enthalpy (ΔH < 0).

eg:

An example of an exothermic reaction is the mixture of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt. This reaction produces 411 kJ of energy for each mole of salt that is produced:

Na(s) + 0.5Cl2(s) = NaCl(s)

There are other chemical reactions that must absorb energy in order to proceed. These areendothermic reactions. Endothermic reactions cannot occur spontaneously. Work must be done in order to get these reactions to occur. When endothermic reactions absorb energy, a temperature drop is measured during the reaction.

Endothermic reactions are characterized by positive heat flow (into the reaction) and an increase in enthalpy (+ΔH).

eg: Photosynthesis

sunlight + 6CO2(g) + H2O(l) = C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)

exothermic reaction means- heat is evolved in that particular reaction where as endothermic reaction means - heat is absorbed in that particular reaction...

explD atomit number (ii) meaan kiln example

Answer»

Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element, compound or a substance. For example, in O2, there are 2 atoms of oxygen.

Atomic number is the number of protons or electrons normally found in an atom of a given chemical element. The higher the atomic number, the heavier the atom is. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same.

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons and therefore have different physical properties.

F. Hots Questions:1. Why is a kabariwala called a friend of the environment?2.Why is it better to use compost in place of chemical fertilizers

Answer»

1.The kabadiwala is a scrap dealer. He is a true friend of nature as his profession is to trade generally with domestic non-biodegradable and useless wastes. The kabadiwala purchases these wastes from our house and further sell them to big traders for recycling which otherwise would not have been possible by an individual and might have stored as junk that will not perish with natures helps.

2.Yes, it isbetter to use compost instead of chemical fertilizersbecause byusing compost, we are reusing our garbage As,Compostis nature's way of recycling organic material back into the environment. ... Alsocompostis cheap and less harmful to thanchemical fertilizers.Compostfeeds the microfauna in the soil.

Give reason Photosynthesis is considered as an exothermic reaction

Answer»

Unlike many otherendothermic reactions,photosynthesisdoes not absorb energy as heat. Instead, during plants absorb energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose, which is a type of sugar molecule. The energy is stored in the glucose molecules, ready to be used when needed.

What effect can defonestation have on ground water.Give reason.

Answer»

Effects of deforestation____Roots hold the soil and does not allow the process of soil erosion. As trees gets cut soil starts to move and get carried by water, air etc thus reducing the fertility if soil and water retaining capacity of the soil. Soil is no longer able to store the water within it and water gets evaporated by the heart of sun thus causing the process of desertification (For more__Desertification is the process in which land gets converted into desserts or marshy lands by human activities or Natural process.)

Which of the following reactions are endothermireactions?a) Combustion of methaneb) Decomposition of water c) Dehydrogenation of ethane to ethened) Conversion of graphite to diamond

Answer»

option (d) is correct.

Graphite is more stable than diamond and energy is needed to convert graphite into diamond. The extra energy that has to be provided ends up in the tetrahedral structure of diamond.The energy content of diamond is slightly higher than that of graphite. Also the activation energy for this conversion is very high.

option (b) is also correct.

To decompose requires water to be split into H and O.

This is similar to decomposition of any other molecule, to break it apart, to make it no longer what it was before that.

Either way, to decompose water would be an endothermic reaction because you need to put a lot of energy into the system to break the H-O bond.

The system does not release any energy during this process (making it an endothermic reaction). To decompose water most effectively, electrolysis should be used.

Give any four uses of ethanol.

Answer»

Uses of Ethanol are as follows:1) Ethanol is used in medical wipes and most common antibacterial hand sanitizer gels as an antiseptic. 2) Ethanol kills organisms by denaturing their proteins and dissolving their lipids and is effective against most bacteria and fungi, and many viruses. However, ethanol is ineffective against bacterial spores.3) The alcohol that we drink is simply ethanol.4) It is also used as a fuel. It burns in air to give carbon dioxide and water and can be used in combination with gasoline.

71, 75% of a first order reaction is completed in 30min: What is the time required for 93.75%completion of the reaction (in minutes)?(a) 45 (b) 12090 (d) 60

Answer»

as this is a first order reaction

75=50+25=30min

50+25+12.5=87.5=60min

50+25+12.5+6.25=93.75=120min

hence option b

n a first order reaction, 50 minutes time is taken for the completion of 93.75% of areaction. Half life of the reaction is4) 10 min

Answer»
1245.

139. If 60% of a first order reaction wascompleted in 60 minutes, 50% of thesame reaction would be completed inapproximately

Answer»

Firstly find out rate of reaction K using,K=(2.303/60) * log (100/40)Now take this k, which come out to be 0.0152 per minute.

For finding time for 50%, you can use any of the 2 approach:

1) you can use the same formual above and substitute the value of k to find time, here log will have different values.

t= (2.303/0.0152)*log(100/50)t= 45.6 minutes.

2) you can use half life formula for first order reaction.

t=0.693/kt=0.693/0.0152t=45.6 minutes.

I hope this answers the question.
