How can people tell the chemical reaction in a beaker?
Mostly by means of colour change and heat dissipated from the beaker...
How you can tell if a mixture is a chemical reaction?
a mixture is by definition not a chemical reactionA mixture is two or more substances which have been combined such that each substance retains its own chemical identity.So a mixture cannot be a chemical reaction, signs of a chemical reaction include:colour changeprecipitation (formation of a solid)effervescence (giving off gas)And every single chemical reaction involves gives of some heat.
How can you tell a chemicall reaction has happened?
The most obvious event to look for to indicate a chemical reaction is the production of heat. All chemical reactions produce heat.
How might a thermometer help you decide if there was any chemical change on mixing iron and charcoal?
For a chemical change to occur, there must be a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction would be either endothermic (uses energy, mostly heat), or exothermic (produces energy, again mostly heat). Any change in temperature of the reactants, as measured by a thermometer, will tell you not only ifa chemical reaction occurred, but also which kind of chemical reaction. No temperature change usually indicates that no reaction has occurred, a decrease in temperature would indicate an endothermic reaction, while an increase in temperature would indicate an exothermic reaction.
What is the word used to describe a chemical reaction in which energy is released?
Any chemical reaction that releases energy is called an exothermic action. The equations for an exothermic reaction between substance A and substance B would be: A + B --> AB + Heat The heat represents the energy and we can tell it is being released because it is on the product side of the equation. The reverse reaction would be endothermic, meaning it requires energy, heat would be on the reactant side and the equation would be: AB + Heat --> A + B To sum things up, an exothermic reaction releases energy and heat will be on the product side of the equation. An endothermic reaction requires energy and heat will be on the reactant side of the equation.
Is a candle burns chemical reaction?
Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction. The easiest way to tell if something is a chemical reaction is if heat or light are given of, a new substance is formed, or a colour change happens. Chemical changes are irreversible.Yes, whenever a candle burns, it is a combustion reaction between the carbon compounds of the wick and wax of the candle and of oxygen in the air. These compounds burn to create carbon dioxide and water, and also a few smaller carbon compounds, which is evident as the smoke rising occasionally from the flame. The flame you see and the heat you feel rising off of the burning wick is the evidence of an exothermic chemical reaction.Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction. The easiest way to tell if something is a chemical reaction is if heat or light are given of, a new substance is formed, or a colour change happens. Chemical changes are irreversible.
How can you tell the difference between an endothermic and exothermic reaction?
You can generally tell by changes in temperature, whether you have an exothermic reaction which produces heat, or an endothermic reaction which consumes heat.
What will tell you the efficiency of a chemical reaction?
You need to calculate the yield of the reaction.
What does a positive delta H tell about reaction?
This is an endothermic chemical reaction.
How can you tell the difference between a chemical reaction and not a chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction will do the following; Change colour Create smoke A non chemical reaction (Physical Reaction) will do the following; Change State Be able to change back to the original materials
How do you know when a chemical reaction has ended?
1)stops changing color 2)stops prducing heat 3)stops bubbling
What can chemical equations tell you about a chemical reactions?
Chemical equations describe the products and reactants in a chemical reaction.
