A student investigates the energy changes during some chemical reactions.

She measures the temperature at the start and end of each reaction.

Look at her results.

ReactionTemperature at start (∘C^{\circ}\text{C}∘C)Temperature at end (∘C^{\circ}\text{C}∘C)Temperature change (∘C^{\circ}\text{C}∘C)Type of reaction
W1927.........................Exothermic
X2213..................................................
Y2038..................................................
Z1515.........................No reaction
a.

Complete the table.

b.

Which reaction has the largest energy change?

[1]
c.

Look at the reaction profile below:

Energy level diagram for an endothermic reaction. The vertical axis is labeled "Energy (kJ)" with a scale from 0 to 400 in increments of 50. The horizontal axis is labeled "Progress of reaction". A curve starts on the left with a horizontal line labeled "Reactants" at an energy level of 150 kJ. The curve then rises to a peak at 350 kJ, before falling to a horizontal line labeled "Products" at 250 kJ on the right.

Calculate the energy change in this reaction.

d.

Calculate the activation energy of this reaction.
