If a reaction is exothermic, it means that it gives out energy, heating up its surroundings, and so the products have less energy than the reactants.

If a reaction is endothermic, it means that it ...

Activation energy is the amount of energy that the reactants need in order to react and become the products. For example, when burning natural gas (also called methane, or CH₄), you need a spar...

pottasium dichromate (K₂SO₄) is an example of an oxidising reagent. If added to a primary alcohol, under reflux, carboxcylic acid will form, a secondray alcohol will form a ketone an...

A reversible reaction is one where the reaction can occur both ways. Therefore, in a closed system where nothing can escape, some products made will always react in the reverse direction to make the react...

Part I (4 marks) a) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O b) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 3O₂ -> 6C...
