A Venn diagram is used to compare and contrast different topics. The items that are unique to each topic are represented in the separate sections of the circles, and the items that are common to both topics are represented in the center overlapping sections. Harlow creates this Venn diagram comparing and contrasting endothermic and exothermic processes.

Question illustration
A
Endothermic: ice melting into water, and a heat pack becoming warm Exothermic: a glow stick glowing, and fireworks exploding
B
Endothermic: ice melting into water, and an instant ice pack turning coldExothermic: fireworks exploding, and gasoline burning
C
Endothermic: a glow stick glowing, and a heat pack becoming warmExothermic: an instant ice pack turning cold, and ice melting into water
D
Endothermic: gasoline burning, and an instant ice pack turning coldExothermic: ice melting into water, and an instant ice pack turning cold

Pedro wants to create a chemical reaction between oil and water. He adds oil to a beaker of water and notices that the liquids do not mix. He then shakes the beaker and the drops of oil become suspended through the water for a few moments before returning to their separate layers.

A
Yes, because the oil was evenly suspended.
B
Yes, because the solution was permanently changed.
C
No, because the oil only briefly mixed with the water.
D
No, because no new substances were formed.
