1
Q

A reversible reaction is endothermic one way. What must the other way be?

A

Exothermic

2
Q

What does the amount of energy in the exothermic reactions exactly equal?

A

The amount of energy taken in by the endothermic reaction

3
Q

What reaction is it when blue copper sulfate crystals are heated?

A

Endothermic

4
Q

What is the word equation for the endothermic reaction of blue copper sulfate crystals?

A

Blue crystals of hydrated copper sulfate white powder of anhydrous copper sulfate + water

5
Q

What does anhydrous mean?

A

A substance that doesn’t contain water

6
Q

What does hydrated mean?

A

A substance that does contain water

7
Q

Why must blue copper sulfate be heated continuously to change in into anhydrous copper sulfate?

A

It is an endothermic reaction so requires energy to break bonds

8
Q

Why does adding water to anhydrous copper sulfate cause the mixture to get hot?

A

It is n exothermic reaction so gives out energy to make bonds

9
Q

What energy transfers are required in reversible reactions?

A

Equal but opposite
