Q8 of 22 Page 45

Identify the endothermic and exothermic reaction.

a. HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O + heat


b. 2KClO3(s) 2KCl(s) + 3O2


c. CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2 + heat


d. CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2

Exothermic reaction: A reaction in which heat is released when reactants changes into products.


Endothermic reaction: A reaction in which heat is either supplied or absorbed from the surroundings.


a. HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O + heat


The given reaction is exothermic because in the reaction heat is released when reactants transformed into products.


b. 2KClO3 (s) 2KCl(s) + 3O2


The given reaction is an endothermic reaction because in the reaction, heat has been supplied to continue the process.


c. CaO + H2O Ca(OH)2 + heat


The given reaction is an exothermic reaction because in the reaction heat is released when reactants transformed into products.


d. CaCO3 (s) CaO(s) + CO2


The given reaction is an endothermic reaction because in the reaction, heat has been supplied to continue the process.
