Energy Changes (Worksheet 1) Answers

1. Answer
(a) A process or chemical reaction which transfers energy, often in the form of heat, to the
surroundings and may be detected by an increase in temperature.
(b) A process or chemical reaction which takes in energy, often in the form of heat, from
the surroundings and may be detected by a decrease in temperature.
(c)
Reaction Change in surrounding Exothermic or
temperature Endothermic?
Sodium hydroxide + Increase in surrounding Exothermic
hydrochloric acid temperature.
Dissolving ammonium Decrease in surrounding Endothermic
nitrate in water temperature.

2. Answer
(a) A = Sublimation
B = melting
C = condensation
D = Freezing
(b) A and B. More heat is gained to break the bonds than released to the surroundings. Thus
surrounding temperature decreases.
(c) C and D. More heat is released to form bonds than absorbed from the surroundings.
Thus surrounding temperature increases.

Energy Changes (Worksheet 2) Answers

Paper 1
1. C (sodium carbonate forms sodium hydroxide with water)
2. C (all three other reactions releases heat)
3. B
4. C (only photosynthesis, melting and boiling are endothermic – Break = endo)
5. C (Exothermic – heat given out to surroundings)
6. A
7. C (melting is endothermic)
8. D (energy absorbed from surroundings so temperature falls)
9. B
A is freezing = bond forming = exothermic
B is dissolving ammonium chloride = endothermic
C is combustion = exothermic
D is respiration = exothermic
10. B (Temperature of surrounding rises (exothermic) and falls back to room temperature when
the reaction ends.)
11. A (surrounding temperature decrease = endothermic)
12. B (break bond = endothermic)
13. D (only photosynthesis is endothermic)

Paper 2
1. Answer
(a) A process or chemical reaction which transfers energy, often in the form of heat, to the
surroundings and may be detected by an increase in temperature.
(b) Rusting, respiration, neutralization or freezing/condensation.
2. Exothermic as it burns vigorously, signifying that a lot of heat is given out to the
surroundings.
3. A process or chemical reaction which transfers energy, often in the form of heat, to the
surroundings and may be detected by an increase in temperature.
4. Answer

(a) Answer

(b) Decrease by 7 °C (or -7 °C)


(c) Endothermic, temperature of mixture decreased.
5. Answer
(a) Measure temperature change using a thermometer
(b) Temperature of surroundings decreases
(c) Temperature of surroundings increases
6. Answer
(a) Neutralisation
(b) Exothermic. Temperature of solution increased when potassium hydroxide was added
to nitric acid.
7. Answer
(a) Ammonium chloride and water
(b) Heat is taken in from the surroundings when dissolving ammonium chloride in water.
It is an endothermic process.

Energy Changes (Test) Answers

1. B (A and D = break bond = endothermic; C is evaporation = endothermic)


2. C (melting = break bond)
3. D (which is why energy is released to the surroundings)
4. B (B and D are endothermic = positive ∆𝐻 while A and C are exothermic = −∆𝐻)
5. B (43 + 3 = 46)

Paper 2: Structured Questions

1. Answer
(a) Answer
4NH3 + 5O2 à 4 NO + 6 H2O
(b) An exothermic process releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings.
