What term is used to describe a process where energy is absorbed & the total enthalpy is positive
Endothermic
What is the symbol and termed use to describe the total heat energy used or released by a system?
Enthalpy
Delta H
What is the term for how quickly or slowly a chemical reaction takes place?
Rate of Reaction
What type of chart or graph visually describes the energy changes taking place over the entire course of a chemical reaction?
Reaction Progress Diagram
What substance slows down the rate of reaction for a chemical reaction when added?
Inhibitor
What term is used to describe when a chemical process releases energy and the total enthalpy is negative.
Exothermic
What is the standard unit of measurement when calculating Enthalpy for a reaction or phase change?
What is the theory that describes the exact conditions and collisions necessary for a chemical reaction to occur?
Collision Theory
What is the minimum amount of energy required to kickstart a chemical reaction and get reactants over the energy barrier?
Activation Energy
What type of substance speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction itself?
Catalyst
What is the specific process that always requires the input of energy, when this occurs more, the process is endothermic?
Breaking of chemical bonds
What is the specific type of enthalpy that describes the energy flow that occurs when a solid melts into a liquid?
Delta H fus
Increasing this variable speeds up a reaction because it increases the frequency and energy of particle collisions by raising the average kinetic energy.
Temperature
What specific value on a reaction progress diagram is found by calculating the difference in energy between products and reactants?
Change in Enthalpy
Delta H
How does a catalyst speed up the rate of reaction?
By lowering the activation energy (energy required to break bonds)
What is the specific process that always releases energy, when it occurs more, the process is exothermic?
Forming new chemical bonds
What is the specific type of enthalpy that describes the energy flow that occurs when a liquid converts into a gas?
Delta H vap
Chopping a solid reactant into smaller pieces increases what variable, allowing more particles to collide at once and speeding up the reaction?
Surface Area
What is the name of the temporary, high-energy state that is found at the very peak of a reaction progress diagrams' curve?
activated complex or transition state
How does an inhibitor slow down the rate of reaction?
It raises the activation energy of a reaction
If a reaction has a negative enthalpy, which side of the reaction would you expect to see the energy written?
The products side
What is the specific term for the energy change that occurs when a solute dissolves into a solvent?
Delta H soln
Increasing what variable means adding more reactant particles into a fixed space, which directly increases the rate of reaction?
Concentration
Label all of the parts of the following reaction progress diagram

B - Activation Energy
C - Transition state/activated complex
D - Products
E - Change in Enthalpy/Net Energy
What comprehensive type of equation models the reactants, products, states of matter, and the specific Delta H of a chemical reaction?
A thermochemical equation.
