Some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions.
In an exothermic process, chemical energy from a reaction is transformed into heat energy, which is released from that system. Therefore, the temperature increases. The energy required to break chemical bonds is less than the energy generated when new chemical bonds are formed, resulting in a release of heat energy.
In an endothermic process, heat energy is transformed into chemical energy so that the reaction may proceed, and thus heat is absorbed by the system. Therefore, the temperature decreases. The energy required to break chemical bonds is greater than the energy generated by the formation of new chemical bonds, and heat energy is absorbed.
In this experiment, you will examine a process and determine if it is endothermic or exothermic. You will then make predictions based on the data and evidence from the lab and practice writing compound names and formulas.
