Lesson: Reaction Profiles Chemistry • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to read reaction profiles (energy diagrams) and identify and describe the energy transfers involved.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

understand a reaction profile,
identify where the products, reactants, transition states, and energetic barriers are on a reaction profile,
correctly label a reaction profile diagram with the energy changes and ,
identify whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic based on a reaction profile.
