16-September-2008 16:20:31 - Exothermic reaction In chemistry, an exothermic reaction is one that releases heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation: reactants → product + energy Contents 1 Overview 2 Examples of exothermic reactions 3 Key points 4 Measurement 5 See also 6 External links Overview In an exothermic reaction, the total energy absorbed in bond breaking is less than the total energy released in bond making. In other words, the energy needed for the reaction to occur is less than the total energy provided. As a result of this, the extra energy is released, usually in the form of heat. When using a calorimeter, the change in heat of the calorimeter is equal to the opposite of the change in heat of the system. This means that when the medium in which the reaction is taking place gains heat, the reaction is exothermic. The absolute amount of energy in a chemical system is extremely difficult to measure or calculate. The enthalpy change, ΔH, of a chemical reaction is much easier to measure and calculate. A bomb calorimeter is very suitable for measuring the energy change, ΔH, of a combustion reaction. Measured and calculated ΔH values are related to bond energies by: ΔH = energy used in bond breaking reactions - energy released in bond making products A sketch of an exothermic reaction A sketch of an exothermic reaction by definition the enthalpy change has a negative value: ΔH 0 For an exothermic reaction, this gives a negative value for ΔH, since a larger value the energy released in the reaction is subtracted from a smaller value the energy used for the reaction. For example, when hydrogen burns: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O ΔH = -483.6 kJ/mol of O2 Examples of exothermic reactions A thermite reaction using IronIII Oxide A thermite reaction using IronIII Oxide Combustion reactions of fuels Neutralization reactions such as direct reaction of acid and base Adding concentrated acid to water Adding water to anhydrous copperII sulfate The Thermite reaction Reactions taking place in a self-heating can based on lime and aluminium The setting of cement and concrete Many corrosion reactions such as oxidation of metals Most polymerisation reactions The Haber-Bosch Process of ammonia production Key points The concept and its opposite number endothermic relate to the enthalpy change in any process not just chemical reaction. In endergonic reactions and exergonic reactions it is the sign of the Gibbs free energy that count and not enthalpy. the related concepts endergonic and exergonic apply to all physical processes. the conceptually related endotherm and exotherm are concepts in Animal physiology. In quantum numbers, when any exited energy level goes down to its original level for example: when n=4 fall to n=2, energy is released so, it is exothermic. Measurement Heat production or absorption in either a physical process or chemical reaction are measured using calorimetry. One common laboratory instrument is the Differential scanning calorimeter or DSC, where a small sample is slowly heated in a controlled way and the heat flow into or from the sample chamber is monitored. The technique can be used to follow chemical reactions as well as physical processes, such as melting and boiling both of which are endothermic. Crystallization and condensation, the reverse processes, are both exothermic.
