What evidence can be observed that a chemical reaction has occured? Select ALL that apply (4).

1

What type of a chemical reaction is this?

1

How do you know it's that type of a chemical reaction?

2

Using Arrows, show what is happening to the energy in this reaction (where it came from and where it's going).

1

The word energy should be placed in which part of this chemical equation?

1

Which of the statement below is true:

1

During one of our labs we combined ammonium chloride with water which resulted in a loss of thermal energy (heat). What kind of a reaction occurred?

1

During chemical reactions the bonds between atoms break and new bonds form. Energy must be absorbed to break a bond, so breaking bonds is endothermic. Making new bonds is exothermic because energy is released.

Looking at the image above, what kind of reaction is occurring and how do you know?
