Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
Think about striking a match or using an instant ice pack - these are perfect examples of how reactions either release or absorb energy from their surroundings. The key thing to remember is that energy is always conserved during chemical reactions, meaning the total amount stays the same.
Exothermic reactions are the dramatic ones - they transfer energy to the surroundings, making things heat up. The product molecules end up with less energy than the reactants because they've given energy away. You'll see this happening during combustion (like burning fuel), oxidation (like rusting), and neutralisation reactions.
Endothermic reactions do the opposite - they're energy thieves that take heat from the surroundings, cooling things down. Here, the products have more energy than the reactants because they've absorbed it. Thermal decomposition is a classic example, like when calcium carbonate breaks down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated.
Quick Tip: Remember EXO = EXit (energy leaves), ENDO = ENter (energy enters)

Reaction Profiles Show Energy Changes
Reaction profiles are like energy maps that show you the journey from reactants to products. They reveal something crucial: particles need a minimum amount of energy to react, called the activation energy - think of it as the energy hurdle they must jump over.
For exothermic reactions, the graph shows products sitting at a lower energy level than reactants. The difference in height tells you exactly how much energy gets released per mole. The initial energy spike shows the activation energy needed to get things started.
The higher the activation energy peak, the more energy you need to kick-start the reaction. This explains why some reactions happen easily at room temperature whilst others need heating up first.
Exam Tip: Always label the activation energy as the peak from reactants, not from zero!

Bond Breaking and Energy Calculations
Here's where chemistry gets mathematical - but in a useful way! Every chemical reaction involves breaking old bonds and forming new ones. Breaking bonds always requires energy (like snapping elastic bands), whilst forming bonds always releases energy.
The overall energy change depends on which process needs more energy. In exothermic reactions, more energy comes from making new bonds than breaking old ones. In endothermic reactions, it's the other way round.
You can calculate these changes using bond energies - specific values that tell you how much energy each type of bond needs. Different bonds have different strengths: H-H bonds need 432 kJ/mol to break, whilst C-Cl bonds only need 240 kJ/mol.
Calculation Reminder: Total energy change = Energy needed to break bonds - Energy released from making bonds

of 10
Working Out Bond Energy Changes
Let's see bond energy calculations in action with hydrogen and chlorine making hydrogen chloride. This systematic approach works for any reaction once you know the bond energies.
First, work out the energy needed for bond-breaking: H-H bond (432 kJ) plus Cl-Cl bond (240 kJ) gives 672 kJ total. Then calculate the energy from bond-making: two H-Cl bonds (428 kJ each) gives 856 kJ total.
The final step gives you the overall energy change: 672 kJ - 856 kJ = -184 kJ. The negative sign tells you this is exothermic - energy gets released to the surroundings.
Sign Check: Negative = exothermic (energy out), Positive = endothermic (energy in)

of 10
Calorimetry Experiments
Calorimetry lets you measure exactly how much energy a reaction releases or absorbs. It's simpler than it sounds - you're basically taking the temperature before and after mixing reactants in an insulated cup.
The key challenge is preventing heat loss to the surroundings. That's why you use polystyrene cups (good insulators), surround them with cotton wool, and add lids. Every bit of insulation helps get more accurate results.
The method involves measuring equal volumes of reactants at the same starting temperature, mixing them quickly, and recording the highest temperature reached. You'll repeat this with different concentrations to see how it affects the energy change.
Safety Note: Always wear safety goggles when handling acids and alkalis, even dilute ones!

Introduction to Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are chemistry's building blocks - simple compounds made from just carbon and hydrogen atoms. They're everywhere in your daily life, from the petrol in cars to the gas that heats your home.
Alkanes are the simplest hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. They're called saturated because each carbon forms four single bonds - no double bonds allowed. Being a homologous series means they all react in similar ways.
You need to know the first seven alkanes: methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), hexane (C₆H₁₄), and heptane (C₇H₁₆). Notice how each one adds a CH₂ unit.

Properties and Crude Oil Formation
The length of hydrocarbon chains dramatically affects their properties. Shorter chains are runny (less viscous), evaporate easily (more volatile), have lower boiling points, and burn more readily. This makes them brilliant fuels.
Crude oil formed over millions of years from dead plants and animals (mainly plankton) that got buried under rock. High temperatures and pressure slowly transformed these remains into the mixture of hydrocarbons we drill up today.
Since crude oil contains hydrocarbons of many different lengths all mixed together, we need fractional distillation to separate them into useful fractions. Each fraction contains hydrocarbons with similar boiling points and chain lengths.
Time Scale: It takes millions of years to form crude oil - that's why it's called a fossil fuel!
8
of 10
Fractional Distillation and Cracking
Fractional distillation works by heating crude oil until it becomes gas, then letting different hydrocarbons condense at different temperatures. Longer chains (higher boiling points) condense first near the bottom, whilst shorter chains (lower boiling points) condense higher up where it's cooler.
The separated fractions become feedstock for making polymers, solvents, lubricants, and detergents. Carbon's ability to form long chains and branch in different ways creates this amazing variety of products.
Cracking solves a practical problem - fractional distillation produces too many long-chain alkanes and not enough short ones for fuel. This process breaks long chains into shorter, more useful pieces, also producing reactive alkenes as byproducts.
Economic Point: Supply and demand - we need more short chains than crude oil naturally provides!
9
of 10
Cracking Methods and Alkene Testing
Cracking is essentially thermal decomposition - using heat to break down molecules. Catalytic cracking vaporises long hydrocarbons and passes them over hot aluminium oxide catalyst. Steam cracking mixes the vapours with steam at very high temperatures.
The products include useful shorter alkanes for fuel, plus alkenes with the general formula CnH2n. Alkenes are much more reactive than alkanes, making them perfect starting materials for other compounds and polymers.
You can easily test for alkenes using bromine water - it stays orange with alkanes (no reaction) but turns colourless with alkenes. This colour change happens because bromine reacts with the double bond in alkenes.
Lab Test: Orange to colourless = alkene present. No colour change = alkane.
10
of 10
Products of Combustion
When hydrocarbons burn, what you get depends on how much oxygen is available. Complete combustion happens with plenty of oxygen around - you get just carbon dioxide and water as products. The equation is simple: hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.
Incomplete combustion occurs when oxygen supply is limited, producing different and often dangerous products. This is why proper ventilation matters when burning fuels - you want complete combustion for safety and efficiency.
Understanding combustion is crucial because it's how we get energy from fossil fuels. Complete combustion releases more energy and produces cleaner products than incomplete combustion.
Safety Alert: Incomplete combustion can produce toxic carbon monoxide - always ensure good ventilation!
