Which type of reaction would likely feel cold to the touch?

• Exothermic

• Endothermic

• Combustion

• Neutralization

In a chemical reaction, the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is 500 kJ, and the energy released when new bonds form is 650 kJ. What type of reaction is this?

• Endothermic

• Exothermic

• Neutralization

• It is at equilibrium

In an endothermic reaction, where does the absorbed energy come from?

• The products

• The chemical bonds

• The surroundings

• Nowhere—it is created during the reaction

Which of the following would be an indicator of an exothermic reaction?

• A decrease in temperature

• Light or heat being emitted

• The reaction container getting colder

• Energy being absorbed from the surroundings

Why do exothermic reactions release energy?

• Because forming new bonds releases more energy than breaking old bonds

• Because all reactions release energy

• Because reactants always have more energy than products

• Because reactants lose mass
