(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Freezing water has to be classified as an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Exothermic reaction:  Those reactions that release heat energy to the surroundings are called as exothermic reactions.  The formation of chemical bonds, releases heat energy.

Endothermic reaction:  Those reactions that absorb heat energy from the surroundings are called as endothermic reactions.  The breakage of chemical bonds absorbs heat energy.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction inside an ice pack has to be classified as an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)
