T?
A The sulfuric acid is less concentrated in T.
B The sulfuric acid is more concentrated in T.
C A higher temperature is used in S.
D Larger sized particles are used in T.

 Determine if the above reaction is exothermic or endothermic using the following
bond energies and by completing the following table. The first line has been done as
an example. Bond energy is the amount of energy, in kJ/mole, needed to break or
make one mole of the bond.
bond bond energy in kJ/mol

N-H 390

F-F 155

N-F 280

H-F 565

bonds broken energy change in kJ/mol

N-H (3 x 390) = 1170

F-F (3 x 155) = 465

Total 1635

bonds formed energy change in kJ/mol

N-F (3 X 280) =840

H-F (3 X 565) = 1695

Show your working.

393-416 = -23kj/mol change in energy, reaction is exothermic [4]

(b) Draw a labeled energy level diagram for the reaction between iodine and

chlorine using the information in (a).

3. a. Photosynthesis is an unusual endothermic reaction.

CHEMISTRY – Yr IX Page 6 of 9 Term III (2019 – 2020)

 Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?

………………………sun light……………………………………………………[1]

(b) Bond forming is exothermic, bond breaking is endothermic. Explain the

difference between an exothermic reaction and endothermic reaction.

In exothermic the reactants have more energy than the product

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
difference in energy is given out as heat whereas in endothermic
…………………………………………………………………………………….[2]
more energy have product than reactant and difference in energy
is taken in from the surroundings.

CHEMISTRY – Yr IX Page 7 of 9 Term III (2019 – 2020)

 (a) A mixture of finely powdered aluminium and air may explode when ignited. An

explosion is a very fast exothermic reaction. This causes alarge and sudden

increase in temperature.

Explain each of the following in terms of collisions between reacting particles.

(i) Why is the reaction between finely powdered aluminium and air very fast?
Because they have more surface area
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

……………………………………………….……………………....[2]

(ii)Explain why for most reactions the rate of reaction decreases with time.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Because they have same energgy

……………………………………………….……………………....[2]

(iii) Suggest an explanation why the rate of reaction in an explosion could increase

rather than decrease through time.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………….[3]

(iv) Give another example of a substance other than a metal which, when finely

powdered, might explode when ignited in air.

Bombs powder
…..………………………………………………………………………………………[1]

(b) Reaction speed increases as the temperature increases.

Explain why reaction speed increases with temperature.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
When temperature increases more particle collide
when they collide then reaction becomes faster.
