Endothermic & Exothermic Reactions

In exothermic reactions, thermal energy is transferred from the system (reacting chemicals) to the surroundings; the temperature of surroundings increases.
Exothermic reactions have a negative enthalpy change (ΔH < 0) because the system loses energy.
Common examples: combustion, oxidation, neutralisation; also hand warmers and self-heating cans.
In endothermic reactions, thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the system; the temperature of surroundings decreases.
Endothermic reactions have a positive enthalpy change (ΔH > 0) because the system gains energy.
Common examples: electrolysis, thermal decomposition, first stages of photosynthesis; also cold packs for sports injuries.
Mnemonic: In Exothermic heat Exits; in Endothermic heat Enters.

Heat transfer outwards in an exothermic reaction

Enthalpy Change & Activation Energy

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is the transfer of thermal energy during a reaction: negative for exothermic, positive for endothermic.
Activation energy (Eₐ) is the minimum energy required for a successful collision between reactant particles.
Reactions with higher activation energy need more energy to start.
Reaction pathway diagrams plot energy (y-axis) against progress of reaction (x-axis).
For exothermic reactions: products have lower energy than reactants; ΔH is shown as a downward arrow.
For endothermic reactions: products have higher energy than reactants; ΔH is shown as an upward arrow.
Activation energy is the energy difference between reactants and the highest point on the curve.

Reaction pathway diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions

Bond Breaking & Bond Forming

Bond breaking is always endothermic (energy absorbed from surroundings).
Bond making is always exothermic (energy released to surroundings).
If more energy is released in bond making than absorbed in bond breaking, the overall reaction is exothermic (ΔH negative).
If more energy is absorbed in bond breaking than released in bond making, the overall reaction is endothermic (ΔH positive).
The overall enthalpy change is the difference between the energy needed to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds form.

Bond breaking is endothermic

An endothermic reaction occurs when more energy is absorbed during bond breaking than is released during bond making, resulting in a net absorption of energy.

In a reaction pathway diagram for an exothermic reaction, are the products at a higher or lower energy level than the reactants?

The products are at a lower energy level than the reactants, so the arrow representing ΔH points downwards.

In a reaction pathway diagram for an endothermic reaction, are the products at a higher or lower energy level than the reactants?

The products are at a higher energy level than the reactants, so the arrow representing ΔH points upwards.

What is the system in a chemical reaction?

What are the surroundings in a chemical reaction?

The surroundings are everything other than the reacting chemicals, such as the container and the air.

How can you distinguish an exothermic reaction from an endothermic reaction by temperature change?

An exothermic reaction causes the temperature of the surroundings to increase, while an endothermic reaction causes the temperature of the surroundings to decrease.
