Evidence of Chemical Reactions

Question 2 • CHS Chemistry A

During an experiment, Mr. Lehman tells his students to be alert for signs that an endothermic reaction is happening. Which of the following scenarios would his students most likely observe?

Answer
A
A test tube becomes cool to the touch.
B
A liquid appears to glow.
C
A new odor comes from a beaker.
D
A solid forms from a mixture of solutions.

Explanation

An endothermic reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings. As heat leaves the test tube and enters the reaction, the test tube may become cool to the touch. Glowing, a new odor, and forming a solid can be signs of chemical change, but they do not specifically indicate that heat is being absorbed.
