What is the sign for Energy change of an endothermic reaction?
The products of the reaction will have less energy than the reactants
What is a type of chemical reaction where the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants?
When a reaction has products that have a lower temperature than the reactants did, the reaction is endothermic.
Why does the reaction between sodium and chlorine gives out a lot of heat and light?
Because the potential chemical energy of the product is much less than the potential chemical energy of the reactants. Since energy is indestructible, it is converted to heat and light.
What kind of reaction is the amount of energy needed to break the original bonds is less than the energy released when new bonds form?
What type of reaction requires less energy to break the original bonds than the energy released when new bonds form?
Is the total mass after fusion greater or less than before fusion?
The total mass is less after a fusion reaction. Some of the mass is converted into energy and given off due to the nuclear fusion reaction. For example. 2 atoms of hydrogen are fused to become 1 atom of helium. However, the helium atom will have less mass than the combined mass of the 2 original hydrogen atoms. The excess mass is lost via the energy given off from the nuclear fusion reaction.
Is the reaction product sodium chloride more or less stable than the reactants sodium metal and chlorine gas?
The reaction product is much more stable, because the reaction to produce it releases a large amount of chemical potential energy as heat.

In an exothermic reaction is the energy of the products higher or lower than that of the reactants?
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
Which type of reaction is the burning of gasoline to release heat energy?
Exothermic reactions release heat into the system, ie. heat is a product of the reaction and thus the products have less energy than the reactants and the change in enthalpy is negative.Exothermic reactions release heat. Like potassium into water
Is the energy given off in a fusion reaction greater or less than the energy off in a fission reaction?
greater than

Because the potential chemical energy of the product is much less than the potential chemical energy of the reactants. Since energy is indestructible, it is converted to heat and light.
What is the best term to describe a chemical reaction in which the reactants have less potential energy than the products?
A chemical reaction whose reactants have less potential energy than the products would be called an endothermic reaction.
What is true about a solution if the reaction quotient is less than the solubility product constant?
the reaction is at dynamic equilibrium.
What kind of reaction is the amount of energy needed to break the original bonds is less than the energy released when new bonds form?
What type of reaction requires less energy to break the original bonds than the energy released when new bonds form?
If an enzyme is present less of what is needed to get the reaction started?
Energy
