What term is used to describe a process where energy is absorbed & the change in 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
For a chemical reaction to happen, reactant molecules must ______
Collide
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 change in enthalpy is negative.
Exothermic
What is the standard unit of measurement when calculating Enthalpy for a reaction or phase change?
Collisions must have the right orientation and the right amount of energy
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 in order to start a chemical reaction?
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 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 in a chemical reaction?
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
When we increase ____, more reactant molecules are added into a fixed volume which directly increases the rate of the reaction.
Concentration
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 change in enthalpy, is energy a reactant or a product?
A product
What is the specific term for the energy change that occurs when a solute dissolves into a solvent?
Delta H soln
True or false:
Increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the rate of reaction because it results in higher energy collisions.
False-- higher energy collisions are the result of increased temperature not concentration
Label all of the parts of the following reaction progress diagram

A - Reactants
B - Activation Energy
C - Transition state/activated complex
D - Products
E - Change in Enthalpy/Net Energy
Does adding a catalyst change the overall enthalpy of a reaction?
No-- the catalyst only changes the activation energy of the reaction. The energy of the reactants and the products remains the same.
