Endothermic and Exothermic Assessment

Front

What is an endothermic reaction?

Back

An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.

Front

What is an exothermic reaction?

Back

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat to its surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature.

Front

What happens to temperature in an endothermic reaction?

Back

The temperature decreases as heat is absorbed.

Front

What happens to temperature in an exothermic reaction?

Back

The temperature increases as heat is released.

Front

What is a product in a chemical reaction?

Back

A product is a substance that is formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

Front

What is a reactant in a chemical reaction?

Back

A reactant is a substance that undergoes change during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is an example of an endothermic process?

Back

Melting ice is an example of an endothermic process, as it absorbs heat from the surroundings.

Front

What is an example of an exothermic process?

Back

Rusting of iron is an example of an exothermic process, as it releases heat.

Front

How can you identify an exothermic reaction?

Back

You can identify an exothermic reaction by observing an increase in temperature during the reaction.
