Explain what an endothermic reaction is.
An endothermic reaction takes in or absorbs heat energy from the surroundings.
what is an exothermic reaction is.
An exothermic reaction releases heat energy from the surroundings
What happens to the temperature of an exothermic reaction as the reaction proceeds
The temperature of an exothermic reaction increases as the reaction proceeds.
What happens to an endothermic reaction as a reaction proceeds.
The temperature of an endothermic reaction decreases at the reaction proceeds.
Give two uses of endothermic reactions.
For a cold pack
For a self chilling beer
Give two uses for and exothermic reaction
reusable hand warmers
disposable hand warmers
What is the general word equation to represent a neutralisation reaction
acid + alkali -> salt + water
why does the temperature of a mixture start decreasing.
When the neutralisation reaction is over the temperature of a mixture starts decreasing
