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.


The wearing away of metal oxide flakes is an example of what?

The wearing away of metal oxide flakes is an example of corrosion, which is the gradual destruction of materials by chemical reactions with their environment. This process weakens the material and can eventually lead to structural failure.


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

This is an example of an endothermic chemical reaction, where energy is absorbed from the surroundings in the form of heat, causing the pack to become cold. The reaction between the chemicals in the instant cold pack and water absorbs heat from the environment, resulting in the cooling effect.


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
