When you crush a glow stick and shake it the two liquids mix and the stick glows. Is this a chemical reaction and is energy being absorbed or given off?

In a glow stick a chemical reaction occur; the energy is released.


When 2 atoms combine to form a molecule energy is always absorbed always released never absorbed or released sometimes absorbed and sometimes released?

Released. The energy that brings the atoms together is given off when they combine. Remeber energy can be neither DESTROYED or created.


Is energy absorbed during preparation of a mixture?

Depends on the mixture. There are two different reactions when atoms bond: exothermic and endothermic. During an exothermic reaction, energy is given off in the form of heat or light. In a endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed.


What is given off in all energy changes?

energy is released which makes it hotter because it is an exothermic reaction, or energy is absorbed which makes it colder and an endothermic reaction =]


What is percent saturation?

The point at which the greatest possible amount of a substance has been absorbed by a solution at a given temperature. Any excess amount of that substance will "fall out" of the solution as a precipitate. Saturation point occurs when water being evaporated equals the amount being condensed. -Qwasas

What happens when electrons are gained or lost?

Gain or electron means reduction energy is not gained but given off during this and also when oxidation takes place the same thing thing happens' energy is released when a redox reaction takes place(ie both oxidation & reduction)
