If an ice pack vial was popped and it started getting icy cold, what kind of reaction occurred in the ice pack?

• It is a physical change as evidenced by a drop in temperature.

• It is a chemical change because two different chemicals are mixed together.

• It is a chemical change because heat energy is absorbed and the pack gets colder.

• It is a physical change because the substance in the vial dissolved in the pack's liquid.

What type of reaction are fireworks?

• It is a change of state, solid to gas, due to the addition of energy.

• It was a physical reaction since the fuse was lit and heat was produced.

• The color changes and the release of energy indicate a chemical reaction.

• It is an endothermic reaction because energy was added; therefore it is a chemical reaction.
