100

In an exothermic reaction, heat is _____________ into the surroundings

Released

100

What is a criteria?

Something a design requires to be successful

100

Does energy move from hot to cold or cold to hot?

Hot to cold

100

What's the first step of the engineering design process?

Identify a problem

100

How many oxygens are on the reactant side of this equation?

2H10O6 ----> 4H5O + 6O2

12

200

An endothermic reaction _______________ heat and feels ________________.

An endothermic reaction absorbs heat and feels cold.

200
What is a constraint?

Something limiting your design

200

If energy is transferring between two systems, when will energy transfer finally stop?

When both objects or systems are the same temp

200

What is the last step of the engineering design process

Communicate results

200

How many hydrogens are on the product side of this reaction?

2H10O6 ----> 4H5O + 6O2

20

300

Provide two examples of an exothermic reaction

MRE, handwarmer, root killer reaction, elephant toothpaste, etc

300

Provide three examples of criteria one might have for a new car design.

Fast, modern features, good speaker system, quiet, environmentally-friendly, etc.

300

Define temperature

a measure of average kinetic energy (heat) in a system
300

What is the next step right after you build a prototype?

Test the prototype

300

Is this chemical equation balanced?

2H10O6 ----> 4H5O + 6O2

Yes

400

Provide two examples of an endothermic reaction

Ice pack, baking soda & vinegar, photosynthesis, frying an egg, etc

400

Provide three common examples of constraints.

Budget

Time

Materials

400

What is the relationship between the amount of reactants and the amount of heat produced by an exothermic reaction?

The amount of reactants determine the amount of heat produced

400

Why is the engineering design process sometimes modeled as a circle?


Engineers frequently repeat steps like testing and evaluating to refine a solution, which creates a cycle of improvement rather than a one-way street from start to finish.

400

Balance the following equation:

H2 + O---> H2O

2H2 + O---> 2H2O

500

Why does an endothermic reaction feel cold if it's absorbing heat?

It absorbs heat because it's colder than it's surroundings (EXAMPLE: ice cube on a summer day)

500

Pretend you are a client asking for a custom soccer uniform. Provide two criteria and one constraint for the designer.

Example criteria: must be green, comfortable, warm, etc.

Example constraints: must cost less than $50, must be completed by next Wednesday, must be made of 100% cotton.

500

Why might a cup of water appear to have a greater volume when it's hot compared to when it's cold?

Particles are farther apart when they're hot, increasing the overall volume of the liquid

500

What is a prototype?

an early model or sample of an idea that shows what the final product or project will look like and how it will work

500

Balance the following equation:

K + 2MgBr ---> KBr + Mg

2K + 2MgBr ---> 2KBr + 2Mg
