(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)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Burning of wood has to be classified as an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Combustion of magnesium in dry ice has to be classified as an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Melting of ice has to be classified as an endothermic or exothermic reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Which observation is consistent with a chemical reactionoccurring? Why?(a) Propane forms a flame and emits heat as it burns.(b) Acetone feels cold as it evaporates from the skin.(c) Bubbling occurs when potassium carbonate and hydrochloricacid solutions are mixed.(d) Heat is felt when a warm object is placed in your hand.
Which of the following is an example of a chemical reaction?  Group of answer choices   (a) Not enough information to say for certain (B) A metal glows green when heated (c) A white solid is dissolved in water. The solution emits heat as the solid dissolves (d) Gas bubbling from a bottle of soda when it is opened (e) A compound turns from red to yellow when heated (and back to red when cooled)
The thermite reaction,Fe2O3 + Al S Al2O3 + Feproduces so much heat that the Fe product melts. This reactionis used industrially to weld metal parts under water,where a torch cannot be employed. It is also a favorite chemicaldemonstration in the lecture hall (on a small scale).(a) Balance the chemical equation for the thermite reaction,and include the proper states of matter.(b) Calculate how many grams of aluminum are needed tocompletely react with 500.0 g of Fe2O3 in this reaction.(c) This reaction produces 852 kJ of heat per mole of Fe2O3reacted. How many grams of Fe2O3 are needed to produce1.00 * 104 kJ of heat?(d) If you performed the reverse reaction— aluminum oxideplus iron makes iron oxide plus aluminum—would thatreaction have heat as a reactant or a product?
