Does energy decrease or increase during a chemical reaction?

Energy is only made not taken away. But during a chemical reaction, it depends on what kind of chemicals you put in there.


Why would a chemical reaction stop?

Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.


When you activate an instant cold pack and water mixes with a chemical and the pack gets very cold what example is this?

It is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is absorbing heat.


Is run away pepper a chemical reaction?

Runaway pepper is a chemical reaction because when you drop the detergent into the water, it reduces the cohesiveness between the water and the pepper. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water and the tension on the rest of the water pulls the floating pepper away from the soap. In other words, it reduces the pulling action on the pepper and the pepper appears to run away from the detergent. But the water around the edges (untouched by the detergent) still has its full pulling strength.[= ~ ! ~ x.Contagious.Sickness.x ~ ! ~ =]^----^(=^_^=)--->o


What do you call the ingredients of a chemical reaction?

-A chemical reaction is a process that changes, or transforms, one set of chemicals into another. An important scientific principle is that mass and energy are conserved during chemical transformations. This is also true for chemical reactions that occur in living organisms. some chemical reactions occur slowly, such as the combination of iron and oxygen to form an iron oxide(rust). Other reactions occur quickly. The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction are know as reactants. The elements or compounds pruduced by a chemical reaction are known as products. Chemical reactions always involve changes in the chemicdal bonds that join atoms in compounds. -Chemical reactions that occurs in your body involves carbon dioxide. Your cells constantly profuce carbon dioxide as a normal part of their activity. Carbon dioxide is carried to you lungs through the bloodstream, and then is eliminated as you exhale. Carbon dioxide is not very soluble in water. The bloodstream could not possibly dissolve enough carbon dioxide to carry it away from your tissues were it not fro chemical reaction. As it enters the blood, carbon dioxide reacts with water to produce a highly coluble compind called carbonic acid, H2CO3. CO2 + H2O ---> H2CO3 The reaction shown above enables the bloodstream to carry carbon diocide to the lungs. In the lungs, the reaction is reversed. H2CO3 ---> CO2 + H2O This reverse reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, which is released as you exhale.

What can you do if you want to either make a chemical reaction happen faster or slower?

to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.
