How can energy change be monitored?
You record the temperature at regular intervals. Also you measure the mass of the product at the beginning and end of the reaction.
What is an exothermic reaction?
A chemical reaction which releases energy by heat or light to the surroundings.
Explain how energy change in a reaction can be monitored.
Recording the temperature at regular intervals. Measuring the mass of the reactants and products at the beginning and end of the reaction.
Where is energy transfered in an exothermic reaction?
To the surrounding area
