When baking soda reacts with vinegar, bubbles form and the container feels cold. This is an example of:

• Exothermic reaction - energy is released.

• Endothermic reaction - energy is absorbed from the surroundings.

• Neither endothermic nor exothermic - no energy transfer occurs.

• The coldness is due to the vinegar, not the reaction itself.

A partial periodic table is shown below. Use the periodic table to predict if an ionic or covalent bond forms. (Hint: How do we know if it is ionic or covalent?) Example NaCl-What is the bond, how do you know?

Answer explanation

Metal + Metal= Metallic Bonding

Nonmetal +Nonmetal= Covalent

Nonmetal + Metal= Ionic

The equation below shows the products formed with a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) reacts with a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl). AgNO₃ + NaCl → NaNO₃ + AgCl (Reactants) ⇒ (Products) In this equation, the total mass of the reactants is

• greater than the total mass of the products

• equal to the total mass of the products

• equal to the mass of AgCl

• less than the mass of AgCl
