When a solid forms as two solutions are mixed together, what is the solid called?
This is called a precipitate.
Classify the following as an endothermic or exothermic reaction: The temperature of two sepature solution is found to 20 degrees Celsius. When the solutions are mixed, a precipitate forms and the temperature changes to 18 degrees Celsius. Explain your reason.
A endothermic reaction because an endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat, so the temperature decreases.
Exothermic reaction
A reaction that releases energy in the form heat.
Endothermic reaction
A reaction that that absorbs energy in the form heat.
Precipitate
A solid that forms from a solution during a chemical reaction.
What happens to the chemical bonds in a substance during a chemical reaction?
In a chemical reaction, chemical bonds change some of their properties and determine weather or not the reaction will occur under a specific set of circumstances.
What two kinds of energy changes can take place during a chemical reaction?
Endothermic when it absorbs energy in the form of heat and exothermic when it releases energy in the form heat.
What are some examples for evidence of a chemical reaction?
Some examples for evidence of a chemical reaction are color change, precipitation, gas production, changes in temperature, and changes in properties.
