Does phenol red mixed with calcium chloride and baking soda turn out to be a exothermic or endothermic?

it results in a exothermic reaction


Does heating calcium carbonate produce an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

its an endothermic reaction, because the it broke the bonds of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in order to make calcium oxide (CaO) and Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Both beacuse in such coditions it can be endothermic or exothermic.


Is an ionic compound exothermic?

A compound is never exothermic. Its reaction with some other substance is endothermic or exothermic like when calcium oxide reacts with water large amount of heat is evolved.


Is obtaining lime from limestone exothermic?

The hydratation of concentrated OH- and Na+ ions (by dilution) is exothermic, it gives an energetically prefered state of matter.(Hydratation is the extra surrounding of the ions by polar water molecules of the solvent).


Is the reaction of calcium chloride to ice a endothermic or exothermic reaction?

when CaCl2 is added to ice it becomes ionized slowly the ions become surrounded by water molecules the secondary types of bonding is responsible to evolve the heat so it is an exothermic reaction.


Is the dissolution of calcium hydroxide exothermic or endothermic?

Exothermic: Heat is given off as one of the products. The container holding the reactants and the products gets hot during the reaction. Use approximately 5 mL of 6M HCl and add to a testtube containing a small peice of mossy Zn. Immediately place a thermometer in the testtube and you will see a quick rise in temperature. This rise in temperature indicates that heat is given off which is a clear sign of an exothermic reaction. Hope this helps!!


How can endothermic and exothermic reactions work alike?

Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.


Why does calcium chloride heat water?

Calcium chloride heats water because the reaction of Calcium Chloride and water is an exothermic reaction.

What is a sentence for the term endothermic reaction?

When you heat calcium carbonate, to make it under go thermal decomposition, this is an endothermic reaction, because you are driving heat into the calcium carbonate.
