When ammonium chloride dissolves in a beaker of water the beaker becomes cold to the touch explain this phenomenon?

When the ammonium chloride dissolves in the water, it is an endothermic reaction. The energy for the reaction comes from the water. Since the water is losing energy, the temperature of the solution decreases, which in turn decreases the temperature of the beaker because of heat transfer.


When sodium metal is dropped into a beaker of water a chemical reaction occurs that increases the temperature of the water This is an example of what?

You think probable to an exothermic reaction.


If the temperature after a reaction is higher is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?

If the temperature rises, the reaction is EXOTHERMIC where the system (reaction) is giving off heat to the surroundings (water, beaker, test tube, etc.).


What is the temperature of the beaker holding the reacting substance decrease is it endothermic or exothermic?

The way I remember it: endo (think in). Heat is flowing in to the reaction from the surroundings. Heat flows from hot to cold, so the measured temperature decreases. The actual beaker will decrease temperature as well, since it is next to something that has decreased in temperature.


Uses of a watch glass?

For example to contain a sample to be weighed; or to make a chemical reaction at small scale; or to cover a beaker.

What is the principle of water bath?

The water bath is used in the lab to allow a chemical reaction to occur at a specific temperature. The bath is heated to a precise temperature and the beaker or other container is placed in the bath.
