Endothermic and exothermic Flashcards
Endothermic reaction
Reactions transfer energy in
exothermic
reactions transfer energy out
Citric acid =20 o+ Sodium hydrogen carbonate powder. what happens to the temperature
The temperature goes down by 10oc
Give and example of an exothermic reaction
Dilute sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide this raises the temperature by 10 degrees
Give an example of an endothermic reaction
Citric acid + sodium hydrogen powder does down by 10 oc
Why can chemical reactions be useful
They can make products eg cement, polyester, medicines, burning coal
Give an example of a negative chemical reactin
Rust
How do you know that a chemical reaction has occurred .
Touch it smell it hear it see it
What is a catalyst.?
It speeds up the reaction but is not changed in the process
A change of state is when
Chocolate is melted
Reactants are what.?
Elements
products are what ?
Products
magnesium and oxide
Magnesium oxide
What is thermal decomposition..
Is where compounds breakdown into simpler compounds or elements
What is a discrete vatiable
Eg copper carbonate not time
