Energy Changes
Chemical reactions occur every day almost everywhere: in our home, in our
body, in the environment. These phenomena happen to bring life, to provide
energy, and to make all things possible. But how are these chemical reactions
possible?
What is happening between substances that makes up the things around us?
How fast do these reactions occur? What are the requirements before reactions
happen?
Chemical changes happen when one chemical substance is
transformed into one or more different substances. Common
evidences of chemicalchanges are change of color (for example, silver
to reddish-brownwhen iron rusts), change in temperature or energy,
such as the production (exothermic) or loss (endothermic) of heat and
2|
change of composition - paper turning to ash when burned. But is it
possibleto control the rate of a chemical reaction? How?
Chemical Kinetics
• It is a branch of chemistry that deals with the mechanism and rates of
chemical reactions.
• It can describe reaction mechanisms that explain how atoms or units
of molecules combine to form products.
Collision Theory
One of the first theories that explain reaction mechanisms and
reaction rates is the collision theory. The collision theory established
how chemical changes initiate. This theory was proposed by Max Trautz
and William Lewis.
According to the collision theory, a chemical reaction can only occur upon
following a specific set of conditions. There are three conditions needed to be
met, known as the theory’s basic principles, namely:
3|
1. the molecules should collide in order to react;
When two particles collide, sometimes a chemical reaction can
occur, which means the bonds between two or more particles are
broken and reformed, creating one or more new substances. The
substances or particles that exist before chemical reaction takes
place are called reactants and the substances that are formed are
called products.
2. the collision of molecules should be in the proper orientation; and
3. the colliding molecules should have enough energy to react.
Collision Theory
“the rate of chemical reaction is proportional to the number of
collisions between the reactant particles”
Reacting substances must come into contact (collide) with enough
activation energy, and in correct orientation (facing the correct
way), so that their electron shells can rearrange to form the
products in the reaction.

3. Temperature - Temperature refers to how hot or cold a certain
substance is. The rate of a chemical reaction increases with
increasing temperature. As the temperature increases,
collision between atoms and molecules becomes faster
resulting in buildup of more energy. The increased kinetic
energy will equal or exceed the activation energy resulting in
more collisions giving rise to a reaction.
4. Surface area and particle size - Surface area is the measure ofhow
much exposed area a solid object has, expressed in square
units. In a reaction between a solid and a liquid, the more finely
divided a solid is, the faster is the rate of reaction. Likewise,as you
powder a solid, its surface area becomes greater, thus the
particles have a higher chance of colliding and faster reaction
happens.
5. The presence of a catalyst - A catalyst is a substance which
speeds up a reaction, but is chemically unchanged at its end.
Collisions only result in a reaction if the particles collide with a
certain minimum energy called the activation energy for the
reaction. To increase the rate of a reaction, the number of
successful collisions must be increased. One possible way of
doing this is to provide an alternative way for the reaction to
6|
happen which has a lower activation energy. Adding a catalyst
has this effect on activation energy. A catalyst provides an
alternative route for the reaction with a lower activation energy.
When the reaction has finished, the mass ofthe catalyst is the
same as at the beginning.

Example: Suppose that you are a cook in a Burger restaurant.
In order to make a regular burger, you need 2 buns and 1
burger patty. In this problem, visualize that the buns and burger
patty are the reactants while the burger is the product from the
reaction of 2 buns and 1 burger patty.

Mole-to-Mole Stoichiometry
Since matter is conserved in all chemical reactions, increasing the
amount of one reactant means that the amount of other reactants
must also increase. Consequently, the amount of products formed in
the reaction would also increase. The new amounts of each
substance can be calculated with the use of mole ratios. Mole ratios
are used as conversion factors for calculations of amounts.

➢ Percentage composition
The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product you
would expect from a reaction based on the amount of limiting
reagent. In practice, however, chemists don’t always obtain the
maximum yield for many reasons. When running a reaction in the lab,
loss of product often occurs during purification or isolation steps.
Your actual yield may change based on factors such as the relative
stability of reactants and products, the purity of the chemicals used,
or the humidity on a given day. In some cases, you might be left with
all starting materials and no products after your reaction. Since
chemists know that the actual yield might be less than the theoretical
yield, we report the actual yield using percent yield, which tells us
what percentage of the theoretical yield we obtained. Thepercentage
yield is an important indicator of the efficiency of a particular
laboratory reaction or industrial process.

and should not be used near open flames. Ethanol inhalation can
cause coughing or headaches.
2. Alcohol Ethoxylate (AE). Alcohol ethoxylates are a class of
compounds that are commonly used throughout many industrial
practices and commercial markets. These compounds are
synthesized via the reaction of a fatty alcohol and ethylene oxide,
resulting in a molecule that consists of two main components, (1) the
oleophilic, carbon-rich, fatty alcohol and (2) the hydrophilic,
polyoxymethylene chain. Alcohol ethoxylate surfactants enhance
the mixing and solubilization of oil and water by having these
contrasting sections within the same compound. With this unique
structure, a single molecule can inhabit the interface of two
immiscible phases (i.e.oil and water), effectively bringing them closer
together and lowering the interfacial energy associated between
them. Because these compounds are surfactants, they can be
usedwhenever oily substances encounter water or a surface. It
can beused as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers,
degreasers andemollients in many lines of commercially
available products andindustrial practices.
3. Sodium Alkyl Sulfates Sodium alkyl sulfate are members of alkyl
sulfates. They are water-soluble and can form soap bubbles. The
chemical formula is CnH2n+1OSO2ONa. It can be used in
detergents, dish washing liquids, shower gels, shampoos, hair
conditioners and fabric softeners. It can also be used as fire
extinguishing agent, because it is not flammable. In the cosmetic
industry it is used as an emulsifier to mix oily and water-soluble
compounds for toothpaste or moisturizing products. It can produce
irritating vapors when heated, consisting of carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, sulfur dioxide and others. As all detergents it can irritate
skin and eyes. If swallowed, it will cause nausea or vomiting.
4. Ammonia. Ammonia is a colorless, soluble alkali gas that occurs
naturally in the environment. It is a chemical containing one nitrogen
and three hydrogen atoms bonded together. It was traditionally
21 |
PHYSICAL SCIENCE 11 –
Module 3
used in many household cleaners, though today it's still found in glass
cleaner, all-purpose cleaners, and smelling salts. When used in
cleaning compounds, it’s called “household ammonia.” Ammonia
fumes are powerful irritant, potentially harming your skin, eyes, nose,
lungs and throat. When found in oven cleaners and window cleaning
formulations, it is an irritant to the mucous membranes. When working
with ammonia, wearing heavy-duty gloves, goggles, and a face mask
are smart precautions to protect your health.
5. Sodium hypochlorite. Bleach, or sodium hypochlorite, is another
alkali disinfectant. Bleach works by oxidizing, or breaking down the
molecular bonds of stains and germs. Bleach in the bottle is generally
a 5 percent solution. Toxic chlorine gas can be formed if bleach is mixed
with acids, such as bowl cleaners. Another useful but dangerous
cleaner it also has strong corrosive properties that may do serious
damage to the human body. Ammonia and bleach are a particularly
dangerous combination, creating potentially deadly gases when
mixed. Never store these two chemicals in the same place. Bleach in
the bottle is generally a five percent solution. Toxic chlorine gas can be
formed if bleach is mixed with acids, such as bowl cleaners.
6. Phenol. Phenol, any of a family of organic compounds
characterized by a hydroxyl (―OH) group attached to a carbon atom
that is part of an aromatic ring. Besides serving as the genericname
for the entire family, the term phenol is also the specific namefor its
simplest member, monohydroxybenzene (C6H5OH), alsoknown as
benzenol, or carbolic acid. Phenols are similar to alcohols but form
stronger hydrogen bonds. They are more soluble in water than are
alcohols and have higher boiling points. Phenols occur either as
colorless liquids or white solids at room temperature and may be
highly toxic and caustic. Phenols are widely used in household
products and as intermediates for industrial synthesis. Forexample,
phenol itself is used (in low concentrations) as a disinfectant in
household cleaners and in mouthwash. Phenol may

have been the first surgical antiseptic. In 1865 the British surgeon
Joseph Lister used phenol as an antiseptic to sterilize his operating
field. Skin exposure to large amounts of phenol has resulted in liver
damage, diarrhea, dark urine and hemolytic anemia.
7. Quaternary ammonium. Quaternary ammonium compounds are
derived from an ammonia ion and are used as disinfectants.
Sometimes called “quats,” these compounds are surface-active
agents that break down the cell walls of microbes causing leakage of
the internal contents. As with phenols, there are a wide variety of
quaternary ammonium compounds under a variety of names on the
market, and each has its own benefits and health/environmental
risks.
8. Sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate is a powder that
releases hydrogen peroxide, and is very concentrated. It is a
granulated powder which can be nice for scrubbing stains and stuck-
on-gunk off dishes. Scouring powder is made from hydrogen
peroxide. It can be made into a paste, too, and used on tile grout and
tough stains. In using this product, follow and read the instructions
carefully. Be very careful in handling all household cleaning products.
9. D-Limonene. D-Limonene is a neutral compound extracted from
citrus rind. Straight d-limonene can be used as a solvent; d-limonene
combined with a surfactant can be used as a rinseable cleaning
solution. However, Buburuz is concerned that the gasses used to
artificially ripen citrus fruits may remain in the rind when they’re made
into d-limonene.
10. Enzymes and bacteria are used in degreasers, drain cleaners and
stain removers. These live organisms consume organic materials, thus
removing the blockage, stain or odor.
11. Hydrogen peroxide is an acidic disinfectant commonly used in a3
percent solution as a skin antiseptic. Like bleach, it works as an
oxidizer. It can be used to whiten paper pulp and treat drinking

• Use fewer personal care products and less often.
• Do not expose children to too many sources of harmful
chemicals. They have young bodies and immature
metabolism. This may cause diseases later in life.
