h Chemicals Will React the Most Efficiently for Heat and Eat Packs
Aim:
To identify which reactions will be the most efficient, in order to heat pre-cooked meals.
Theory:
It is stated that all chemical reactions involve energy changes. Where a substance is stored with chemical energy and has the potential to be converted to heat (insert cited thing). Exothermic and Endothermic reactions are included in the changes in heat of energy. As Exothermic reactions release heat, and transfer the temperature to its surroundings. This is because the energy absorbed to split the bonds of the reactants release less heat energy than the product made by the bonds. An endothermic reaction however absorbs heat from its surrounding as the reactant doesn’t supply enough energy therefore it absorbs energy from its environment. In addition, endothermic reactions release more heat energy in order to break the bonds made by the products.
The bonds in the exothermic and endothermic occur during the experiment, as the breaking and making of the chemical bonds are involved. Exothermic is energy that is released when any chemical bond is formed and Endothermic is energy which must be added when a chemical bond is broken. It is recognized that with exothermic reactions, the products will contain a lower energy with the reactants. Endothermic reactions however have products which contain a higher energy than the reactants. This is because exothermic reactions release heat, and in the progress
This information has massively help to answer by explain the difference between endothermic and exothermic in common language which also helped me know why an exothermic reaction can be used to heat food but an endothermic reaction cannot.
Endothermic reactions are accompanied by the absorption of heat. The dissolving of ammonium nitrate in water is an example of an endothermic reaction. The solution resulting from this mixture is colder than either the ammonium nitrate or the water. This is the simple explanation of what happens in an instant ice pack. The more detailed information will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? What does that mean and how do you know? (~3 sentences)
4) Heating favours endothermic reactions. As the reactant “Co(H₂O)₆²⁺” was heated, the solution changed from light red to dark purple. This suggests that the equilibrium shifted right. Therefore, the forward reaction is endothermic.
The difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions is that endothermic reactions absorb heat, and exothermic give off heat. Dilution of ammonium chloride is an example of an endothermic reaction. This is the active ingredient in chemical ice packs you can obtain in a pharmacy. Other reactions are melting and boiling which also absorb heat to happen, although you may not consider them chemical reactions. Combustion is a typical exothermic reaction any type of burning.An exothermic reaction occurs if the energy of the bonds formed in the products
In this experiment it was observed that not all chemical reactions occur at the same rate. Chemical reactions occur when one or more substances are changed into other substances. The properties of a chemical reaction require three things. First, they need a source of energy for molecules to encounter each other. Second, they require to proceed at a steady rate. Third, they must proceed in a particular direction until they reach equilibrium. There are two types of chemical reactions that can occur: endergonic and exergonic reactions. In these reactions there are both reactants and products. In exergonic reactions the reactants (starting materials of a reaction) are higher than the products (results of a reaction). This is opposite for endergonic
Exothermic is in which the reaction give off heat causing the temperature of the outside air to rise. Endothermic is in which the reaction need more heat causing the outside air to become colder. In the first part of the lab the reaction was exothermic because it caused the the outside water to heat up from 24 degrees celsius to 25 degrees celsius. In the second of the experiment it was an exothermic reaction because the solution went from 18 degrees celsius to 21 degrees
Aim: To plan, conduct, evaluate and report on an investigation of chemical changes, and make recommendations for their use as an energy source in Heat-and-Eat meal packs.
Reactions that give off heat as a product are known as exothermic reactions, whereas reactions that absorb heat are known as endothermic reactions (Van Hecke, 1999). An example of an exothermic reaction would be condensation, in which water loses energy, and an example of an endothermic reaction would be melting, in which water gains energy. These two types of reactions are studied to better understand the properties and future potential of substances. For example, recent studies prove that the addition of endothermic chemicals in fire retardant substances effectively stops fires by rapidly cooling the temperature and preventing and re-ignition (Tripathi, 2008). This is important because determining what reactions are endothermic or exothermic can better improve techniques to prevent disasters such as a fire. If an unknown substance is exothermic, in terms of fire combustibility, adding it to a fire would
Data about how hot the food and drink can get, including the energy released per gram in these chemical reactions
In chemical reactions bonds must be broken and new bonds must be formed. In order for this to occur the bonds must be made less stable. For bonds to become less stable a small input of energy is required and this is
Endothermic and Exothermic reactions release or absorb energy, the graph above shows the way in which the chemical energy changes.
allows heat to be conducted appropriately. Food will be cooked consistently and evenly, with the
Background: Energy changes occur in all chemical reactions; energy is either absorbed or released. If energy is released in the form of heat, the reaction is called exothermic.
When energy in the form of heat is given out of a reaction it is an
