Journal Entry:

 When a fuel is burned, energy is released. Where do you think that energy comes from?

Consider this reaction:

CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

What is happening to the methane molecules as they combust?

 

Learning Intentions

Closing Task:

You can calculate the net energy exchange due to a chemical reaction.

Content Standards being covered in this unit:

Students can develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy.(HS-PS1-4 and CCC Energy and Matter) .
