Cherylanne mixes together Chemical A and Chemical B in a test tube, forming Chemical C. The mixture instantly turns cool to the touch. She then adds Chemical D, and the reaction becomes hot and explodes.

A
Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction.
B
Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an endothermic reaction.
C
Chemicals A and C form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an exothermic reaction.
D
Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an endothermic reaction.

When vinegar and baking soda react, the mixture becomes cold to the touch and a gas and a new liquid substance are formed.

A
The reaction is chemical and endothermic.
B
The reaction is chemical and exothermic.
C
The reaction is non-chemical and endothermic.
D
The reaction is non-chemical and exothermic.
5

Two chemicals react in an endothermic reaction. What can be known about this reaction?

A
Heat is absorbed because the old substance needs more energy to break its bonds.
B
Heat is released because the old substance needs less energy to break its bonds.
C
A precipitate will form as a result of the reaction.
D
A gas will form as a result of the reaction.
6

Which is an example of a chemical reaction?

A
paper folded into tiny pieces
B
paper burned and turned into smoke
C
paper soaked in water
D
paper shredded and turned into pulp
7

When baking soda and vinegar react, the surface bubbles. What does this most likely indicate?

A
a chemical change, because a precipitate is being formed
B
a chemical change, because a gas is being formed
C
a non-chemical change, because a precipitate is being formed
D
a non-chemical change, because a gas is being formed

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

When liquid silver nitrate and liquid sodium chloride are combined, solid silver chloride forms along with a new liquid, sodium nitrate. Which substance represents the precipitate?

A
silver nitrate
B
silver chloride
C
sodium chloride
D
sodium nitrate
10

What must occur in order for a chemical reaction to be specifically classified as endothermic instead of exothermic?

A
Atoms are rearranged.
B
Chemical bonds are formed.
C
Energy is released in the form of heat.
D
Energy is absorbed in the form of heat.
