Endothermic and Exothermic Assessment

Front

What is an endothermic process?

Back

An endothermic process is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.

Front

What is an exothermic process?

Back

An exothermic process is a chemical reaction that releases heat to its surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature.

Front

Give an example of an endothermic process.

Back

Baking bread and cooking an egg are examples of endothermic processes.

Front

What instrument is used to measure temperature changes in reactions?

Back

A thermometer is used to detect temperature changes in endothermic or exothermic reactions.

Front

What type of reaction occurs in a hand warmer?

Back

A hand warmer undergoes an exothermic reaction.

Front

What are reactants?

Back

Reactants are the substances present before a chemical reaction occurs.

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Products are the substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

Front

What happens to temperature in an endothermic reaction?

Back

In an endothermic reaction, the temperature of the surroundings decreases.

Front

What happens to temperature in an exothermic reaction?

Back

In an exothermic reaction, the temperature of the surroundings increases.

Front

What is the starting temperature in the given endothermic reaction?

Back

The starting temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.
