Reaction Pathway Diagrams (Reaction Profiles)

• Used to represent the energy changes involved in a chemical reaction

Step 1 : Draw and label the x and y axes.

Step 2 : Write the chemical equation.

Step 3 : Identify whether it is an exothermic or endothermic reaction.

Step 4 : Draw the line for the reactant.

Step 5 : Draw the line for the product.

Step 6 : Draw the arrow for the energy released or absorbed.

Example 1:

STEPS:

Step 1 : Draw and label the x and y axes.

Step 2 : Write the chemical equation.

Step 3 : Identify whether it is an exothermic or endothermic reaction.

Step 4 : Draw the line for the reactant.

Step 5 : Draw the line for the product.

Step 6 : Draw the arrow for the energy released or absorbed.

CH₄ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)          △H = - 891 kJ/mol

Example 2:

STEPS:

Step 1 : Draw and label the x and y axes.

Step 2 : Write the chemical equation.

Step 3 : Identify whether it is an exothermic or endothermic reaction.

Step 4 : Draw the line for the reactant.

Step 5 : Draw the line for the product.

Step 6 : Draw the arrow for the energy released or absorbed.

CaCO₃ (s) →  CaO (s) + CO₂ (g)          △H = +178 kJ/mol
