Karina strikes a match to light a candle. Explain what type of reaction the burning match represents in terms of energy.
A burning match represents an exothermic reaction because energy is released in the form of heat and light during the chemical process.

When potassium iodide liquid is poured into lead nitrate solution (both clear solutions), a bright yellow solid, lead iodide, forms in a potassium nitrate solution. What are the signs that this is a chemical reaction? Check all that apply.
Identify the chemical reactions as endothermic, exothermic, or neither.
A food item that is left out of the refrigerator turns brown and forms bubbles and gas. What are the signs that this is a chemical reaction? Check all that apply.Heat is produced.Heat is absorbed.Bubbles appear.A precipitate forms.The color changes.
Theo mixes cake batter and places it in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes. Explain what type of reaction baking a cake represents in terms of energy.
Baking a cake represents an endothermic reaction. This is because heat energy from the oven must be absorbed by the batter for the chemical reactions (cooking) to occur. In an endothermic reaction, energy is taken in from the surroundings.
