Energy and energy changes: WAEC Chemistry Past Questions and Answers

What the WAEC syllabus covers in Energy and energy changes

Our summary: Energy and enthalpy, and the heat given out or taken in when substances react, dissolve or are neutralised.

  • Energy and enthalpy (Explanation of the terms energy and enthalpy. Energy changes associated with chemical processes.)
  • Description, definition and illustrations of energy changes and their effects ((1) Exothermic and endothermic processes. (2) Total energy of a system as the sum of various forms of energy e.g. kinetic, potential, electrical, heat, sound etc. (3) Enthalpy changes involved in the following processes: combustion, dissolution and neutralization.)
