Episode 2 — Rate & Extent of Reactions

Rate and Extent of Reaction Energy of Chemical Change

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the characteristics of a chemical reaction, including changes in physical and chemical properties. • Describe the role of energy in chemical reactions, including bond breaking and formation. • Explain the concept of activation energy and its importance in initiating chemical reactions. • Calculate the heat of reaction (delta H) using the formula delta H = energy of products - energy of reactants. • Interpret energy profiles to determine whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
