A student add chemical A and chemical B and sees bubbles form indicating that a chemical reaction has occurred. How can they determine whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic?

Measure the starting and ending temperature.
If temperature increases, it is exothermic.
If temperature decreases, it is endothermic.

200

A student combines two chemicals and noticed the temperature decreases. How can they tell if this was an endothermic process or reaction.

If it is a chemical reaction it will show one of the indicators (e.g. color change, gas production, odor production, etc.)

200

What is another name for a "burning" reaction.

Combustion

200

Sodium is added to water and bubbles are seen. The gas is collected in a testtube and Mr. Aidan says the gas is Hydrogen. Manta does not believe him. How can he test if Mr. Aidan was correct.

Squeaky pop test

List any three properties of acids.

Think back to year 7 science.

ph < 7
Corrosive
Sour

300

Photosynthesis and respiration are both vital chemical reactions for plants. Which of these reactions in exothermic?

Respiration - it releases energy
Photosynthesis absobs energy (endothermic)

300

What is a real-world application of an endothermic reaction or process?

Cold packs, sherbert candy, boilng water to cook, baking, cooking, dissolving salt in water, etc.

300

What are the three things needed for a combustion reaction?

300

Why are some metals stored under oil?

To prevent them from being in contact with, and reacting with, the oxygen and water in the air.

300

Some metals are too reactive to safely add to dilute acids. List one of these metals.

Any alkali metal

Sodium, potassium, etc.

400

A student combines two chemicals that results in an exothermic reaction. If the starting temperature of the reactants is 22° C, what is a possible final?

Any value greater than 22° C

400

Is breaking bonds or forming bonds endothermic?

Breaking bonds is an endothermic process. It requires an input of energy to break the bonds.

400

What is a method that can be used to prevent a nail from rusting.

Galvanizing it, painting it, controlling the environment the nail is in - using a dehumidifier (removes moisture from the air)

400

Write the word equation for:

1. Potassium + water (l)

2. Magnesium + water (g)

1. Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen

2. Magnesium oxide + hydrogen

Zinc is added to three different acids. Names the salt formed in each:

a. Nitric acid

b. Hydrochloric acid

c. Sulfuric acid

a. Zinc nitrate

b. Zinc chloride

c. Zinc sulfate

500

List 2 phase changes that are exothermic processes.

Freezing, condensing, deposition

500

This is an energy profile showing the energy of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Does this profile show an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

Exothermic

The reactants have more energy than the products. This extra energy was released to the surroundings.

500

Write out the word equation for a nail rusting.

Iron + oxygen ---> iron oxide (rust)

The iron must be wet, but water is not used in the reaction so it is not a reactant.

500

A metal is added to water and no reaction occurs. However, when placed in steam a reaction does occur. Use particle theory to explain why.

When the metal is added to cold water, the water particles have less kinetic energy and move more slowly. They do not collide with the metal surface with enough energy or frequency to start a reaction.

When the metal is placed in steam, the water particles have much more kinetic energy because they are at a higher temperature. They move faster and collide with the metal surface more often and with greater energy. These more frequent and energetic collisions allow the reaction to occur.

What is a simple chemical reaction you could do to make table salt?

Add sodium to hydrochloric acid

Or a neutralization reaction with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide
