Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is an endothermic reaction?

  1. A catalyst reaction
  2. One that releases energy
  3. One that absorbs energy from the surroundings, causing the temperature to drop
  4. One that produces fire
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: COne that absorbs energy from the surroundings, causing the temperature to drop
Endothermic: energy absorbed. Temperature drops. Examples: thermal decomposition, photosynthesis, dissolving ammonium nitrate. Energy of products > energy of reactants.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is an exothermic reaction?

  1. One with no energy change
  2. A reversible reaction
  3. One that absorbs energy
  4. One that releases energy to the surroundings, causing the temperature to rise
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DOne that releases energy to the surroundings, causing the temperature to rise
Exothermic: energy released. Temperature rises. Examples: combustion, neutralisation, oxidation. Energy of products < energy of reactants.

Edexcel GCSE Chemistry: Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes FAQ

Is Kramizo free for Edexcel GCSE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different Edexcel subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from Edexcel.
How is Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Chemistry papers?
Rates of Reaction and Energy Changes appears across multiple question types on real Edexcel GCSE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
