An endothermic reaction can be spontaneous if the increase in entropy (disorder) of the system is large enough to overcome the energy input required for the reaction to occur.

How might you cause an edothermic chemical change to begin and keep going?

By supplying energy to it.Explanation:Since an endothermic reaction, by definition, NEEDS energy to go on, it will cool down (= taking heat energy from the reactants). It will stop itself as any reaction will slow down at lower(ing) temperatures.So SUPPLY of heat is at least necessary to KEEP temperature at its minimum level of 'ongoing' reaction.

How does temperature affect the spontaneity of a reaction?

Increasing the temperature makes a reaction spontaneous in some situations.


Which of the following describes a spontaneous reaction?

The Gibbs free energy for the reaction is negative.


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.


List three signs that could make you think a chemical reaction might be taking place?

Formation of bubbles or gas: Gas evolution can indicate a chemical reaction is occurring. Change in color: A sudden change in color could be a sign of a reaction, such as a shift from clear to cloudy. Temperature change: If the reaction generates heat (exothermic) or absorbs heat (endothermic), it can be an indication that a chemical reaction is taking place.

How might each reaction feel if you were to put your hands near it?

An exothermic reaction would feel warm or hot if you put your hands near it, as it releases heat to its surroundings. An endothermic reaction would feel cool or cold if you put your hands near it, as it absorbs heat from its surroundings.

Why is energy written above the arrow?

Energy is often written above the arrow in chemical reactions to indicate whether a reaction is endothermic (energy is absorbed) or exothermic (energy is released). This notation helps to show the overall energy change during the reaction.

Is Autism inherited?

Autism can be inherited from parents with genes for autism. Autism can also be the result of the spontaneous mutation of a gene. It is suspected that a person with the genes for autism might need an environmental factor (in the womb or shortly after birth) to trigger the development of autism.

Discuss what results you might obtain if you repeated this experiment using an endothermic organism?

the temperature of the endothermic organism would decrease and the cells in the organisms would explode because of the high water content in the cells.
