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.

3

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

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

Theresa creates an experiment where she mixes two red-colored substances together in a container and observes the solution slowly changing from red to blue for the next eight minutes. The solution becomes completely blue after eight minutes.

A
A chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
B
A non-chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
C
A chemical change occurred at four minutes.
D
A non-chemical change occurred at four minutes.

Reggie and Charlotte are baking oatmeal cookies. They dip the baked cookies in melted chocolate. The chocolate cools to form a hardened coating. Reggie argues the entire chocolate-covered cookie has undergone a chemical change. Charlotte disagrees, saying only the original oatmeal cookie has undergone a chemical change, not the chocolate coating.

A
Reggie, because baking and melting cause bonds to be broken, leading to a chemical change.
B
Reggie, because objects that are heated always undergo chemical changes.
C
Charlotte, because melting objects only sometimes cause a chemical change.
D
Charlotte, because baking causes a chemical change, but melting objects is a non-chemical change.

Which is evidence that a chemical reaction has likely occurred?

A
a liquid slowly losing volume
B
the formation of a precipitate
C
boiling water releasing steam
D
a change in the shape of a solid

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

Which best explains why a firework being ignited is an example of an exothermic reaction and not an endothermic reaction?

A
The fireworks produce colors.
B
The fireworks give off heat.
C
Igniting the fireworks requires energy.
D
Igniting the fireworks makes an odor.

C
A precipitate will form as a result of the reaction.
D
A gas will form as a result of the reaction.
