This is the Law of Conservation of Energy.

What is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed?

100

This type of reaction occurred when we made icepacks (exothermic/endothermic).

What is endothermic?

100

This is the energy barrier between reactants and products.

What is the activation energy?

100

A reaction can only take place if this happens.

What is that particles collide?
100

If I want to increase the frequency of collisions, but not change the number of particles in my chamber, I should do this.

What is increase the temperature?

200

A scientist wants to measure heat flow in an engine. They define their system as the piston chamber and everything contained inside of it. These are the surroundings.

What are everything else in the universe?

200

When we added more particles to our reaction chamber, we were increasing this physical property.

What is concentration?

200

The symbol "delta-H" stands for this.

What is the "change in enthalpy?"

200

Many particles that do collide do not react because they do not have enough of this.

What is kinetic energy?

[Teacher discretion]

200

Increasing concentration of the reactants produces a faster reaction. This is why.

What is that a higher concentration will lead to a higher collision frequency, i.e. more reactions?

300

A scientist is measuring the heat flow in an engine. They know that the combustion of gasoline's heat of reaction is del-H = -2,000 J. They should expect this (gain/lose energy) to happen to the surroundings of their system.

What is gain energy from the system?

300

When we wanted the average kinetic energy of our particles to increase, we increased this in our chamber.

What is temperature?

300

The difference between the energy of products and their reactants is called this.

What is the heat of reaction?

300

For many reactions to take place, particles need to contact each other in the proper orientation. This is a good explanation of "proper orientation."

What is that the particles need to collide in just the right way?

[Teacher discretion]

300

This is why catalysts increase the rate of reaction.

What is that they lower the activation energy?

400

Gas combusts in a chamber. The chamber's temperature rises. This is an example of this (work/heat). Explain.

What is heat because the flow of energy occurred to a difference in temperature? Also, there was no movement....

When we mixed two liquids and a yellow solid formed, this is what we call the solid.

What is a precipitate?

400

This is the name of the temporary molecule that exists as a reactant overcomes the activation energy.

What is activated complex?

400

What is Aretha frikkin Franklin???

400
This is an adequate explanation of why decreasing particle size increases the rate of reaction.

Dec. particle size -> inc. surface area -> inc. # of collisions -> inc. rate of reaction

Who is Otis Redding???

500

This is the compound we will use to make our hot packs.

What is calcium chloride?

500

This is the difference between the heat of reaction and the activation energy.

What is -350 J?

500

Enzymes work by making sure molecules line up just right so they can react properly. By doing this, enzymes are increasing the rate of certain reactions, and are, therefore, known as these.

What is making sure the molecules are properly oriented? What is a catalyst?

500

A researcher is making a cold pack with ammonium nitrate and water. The reaction doesn't happen as quickly as they would like so they add 12.3 grams of ammonium nitrate to their reaction chamber. The result is that the reaction speeds up. The researcher added ammonium nitrate to do this.

What is increasing concentration?
