The top answer ("the temperature of the bread goes up and the temperature of its surrounding will go down") is a terrible answer because whether baking bread is endothermic or exothermic depends on whether the chemical reactions that take place in the bread release energy or bind energy. That has absolutely nothing to do with the bread getting hot in the oven. Even a brick gets hot inside an oven yet there are no chemical processes occurring.

Which chemical change causes a cake to rise?

The thermal decomposition of baking powder. Baking powder is also known as sodium bi-carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate. When heted it undergoes thermal decomposition., releasing carbon dioxide in thre process. It is this release of CO2 that makes pastry rise when being baked.,


Why do we add baking soda to cake?

Baking soda is added to cake batter to help the cake rise by releasing carbon dioxide gas when it reacts with acidic ingredients like buttermilk or vinegar. This reaction creates bubbles in the batter, making the cake light and fluffy.


How can you tell that baking a cake produces a chemical change?

New chemical bonds are being formed, and some are being broken. A simple test for if something is a chemical change or not is if the reaction is irreversible, such as baking a cake. Quite a few chemical changes are reversible, however you can almost be certain that a physical change is reversible, such as water <-> ice.


Baking a cake is physical change or chemical change?

Baking a cake is a chemical change because the ingredients undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat, resulting in a transformation of their molecular structure to form the cake. This is different from a physical change, which does not alter the composition of the ingredients.


What are the characteristics of an exothermic reaction?

Exothermic reactions release energy, it often produces an increase in temperature, and in this reaction, the bonds energies of the reactants are less then the energies of the products (meaning it is greater when it is on the reactant side).

How can you relate an endothermic reaction to baking a cake?

Yes because endothermic is absorbing heat and a cake absorbs heat in order to make it hot. millemat001


Is baking bread a endothermic and exothermic?

Sounds like a homework question. We know that in an exothermic reaction, heat is taken out of the system and given to the surroundings. Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is pulled from the surroundings into the system. I am assuming you are thinking of the cookies as the system. So in this case, energy--in the form of heat--is being taken out of the oven and being put into the cookies. The cookies, using the energy increase in temperature, which bakes the cookies, creating the tasty little morsels of joy that cookies are.


Why is making brownies an endothermic reaction?

An endothermic reaction is one which requires the continuous input of energy. Although some reactions require energy to start them off, e.g. combustion of wood, they will then continue to react and will emit energy, mainly in the form of heat, in an exothermic reaction. Baking a cake requires a continuous source of energy (i.e. the heat from an oven). If you turn the oven off, the cake will not continue cooking by itself. It is therefore endothermic.


What is chemical reaction in baking a cake?

A cake produces a permanant colour change and a slight change in weight after baking. That means, It's a chemical reaction.


Is baking powder a gas that makes a cake rise a chemical reaction?

Baking powder is not a gas, but it does make a cake rise by releasing carbon dioxide into the batter through chemical reaction.


Is baking a cake in an oven a chemical reaction?

Yes, because baking involve chemical changes.


A change in matter in which energy is taken in is an endothermic change?

Endothermic changes are processes where energy is absorbed by the system from its surroundings. This results in a decrease in temperature in the surroundings during the process. Examples include melting ice and evaporating water.
