Below is a table that shows the amount of energy needed to break each type of bond.
Carefully review the table and answer the questions that follow.
Question 5
5.
What are 2-3 patterns you notice in the table above?
(i.e. any patterns with the types of elements and the amount of energy needed to break bonds, types of bonds (single, double, triple) related to bond energy etc.)
You can watch the video below if you get stuck when trying to answer the remaining questions. Only watch this video if you need to.
Question 6
6.
What do bond energies mean in a chemical reaction? Let's look more carefully at a simple combustion reaction
How much energy does it take to break methane (CH4) bonds? (Use the bond energy table to calculate. Remember there are 4 C-H bonds in the molecule)
Question 7
7.
How much energy does it take to break oxygen (O2) bonds? (Use the bond energy table to calculate. Remember that there are 2 O2 molecules that need to break bonds.)
Question 8
8.
What is the total amount of energy to break all the reactant bonds? (look at last 2 answers to figure this out)
Question 9
9.
The amount of energy needed to break bonds is equalto the amount of energy that is released when new bonds form.
Based on Carbon dioxide's structure (CO2), how much energy is released is when these bonds are formed?
Question 10
10.
Based on water's structure (H2O), how much energy is released is when these bonds are formed? (Remember that you have 2 total water molecules that will form)
Question 11
11.
Question 12
12.
Both Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are greenhouse gases. This means that they are able to store and trap heat in their bonds, which can then in turn be released back into the atmosphere.
Compare the amount of heat energy that can be released into the atmosphere when carbon dioxide forms versus when methane forms.
Which one has the potential to release more heat energy? (Compare the values from questions 6 and 9)
Which molecule do you think we should be most concerned about in order to reduce the effects of climate change?
Watch this video about what happens during a combustion reaction.
Question 13
13.
What are 3 new things you learned from the video?
Question 14
14.
What is 1 question you have from the video?
Look carefully at the 2 graphs below that show changes in the potential energy that occur when bonds break and new bonds form during a chemical reaction.
Every chemical reaction starts with a certain amount of potential energy held in the bonds of the reactant molecules.
There is always a certain amount of energy needed to break reactant bonds, this is known as the activation energy or Ea in the diagram.
The change in energy delta H, shows the difference between the potential energy in the product bonds that form from the original potential energy in the reactant bonds.
Question 15

Question 16
16.
Breaking bonds always ________________.
requires energy
releases energy
Forming or making new bonds always ________________.
requires energy
releases energy
If a reaction overall releases lots of heat energy such as the example in the video, then it is _____________.
endothermic
exothermic
In an endothermic reaction, like the last example in the video, heat is __________
absorbed or taken in by the reaction so the surrouding test tube becomes cold
released by the reaction so the surrouding test tube becomes cold
In the chemical reaction above, it takes a total of 2642 KJ/mol to break the reactant bonds in both CH4 and O2. However, there is 3450 KJ/mol of energy that is released when the new products CO2 and H2O form.
Since the amount of energy needed to break bonds is LESS than the amount of energy released in forming new bonds, which is TRUE about this reaction? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
The combustion reaction is exothermic
The combustion reaction is endothermic
Overall, this reaction releases more energy into the atmosphere than it needs to react
Overall, this reaction absorbs more energy than it releases into the atmosphere
Based on the video and information above, which do you think is true about diagram A? Select all that apply.
More potential energy is released when the products form than is needed to break the reactant bonds
More potential energy is absorbed to break the reactant bonds then released when the products form
It is an exothermic reaction
It is an endothermic reaction
Based on the video and information above, which do you think is true about diagram B? Select all that apply.
More potential energy is released when the products form than is needed to break the reactant bonds
More potential energy is absorbed to break the reactant bonds then released when the products form
