Does the energy go from the surrounding to the chemicals or from the chemicals to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?

• Energy goes from the surroundings to the chemicals.
• Energy goes from the chemicals to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction.
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed in an exothermic reaction.

Classify each of the following as an exothermic or endothermic process.

Groups:

(a) Melting ice cubes

,

(b) Baking Bread

,

(c) Burning a candle

,

(d) Splitting a gas molecule apart

• Dough rises due to carbon dioxide produced by yeast

• Phase change from gas to smaller gas molecules

• Bread is baked at high temperatures to create a golden crust

• Results in a decrease in temperature

• Bread crust forms due to Maillard reaction

• Absorbs heat from the surroundings

• Results in the formation of smaller molecules

• Exothermic

• Endothermic

• Commonly used in industrial processes

• Results in the formation of soot

• Produces light and heat

• Requires energy input to break covalent bonds

• Exothermic

• Phase change from solid to liquid

• Chemical reaction between wax and oxygen

• Yeast is activated by warm water and sugar

• Emits carbon dioxide and water vapor

• Requires energy input to break intermolecular forces

• Gluten forms when water is added to flour
