 Aim

• To study the exothermic reaction and

endothermic reaction
 Problem statement
• How can exothermic reaction and
endothermic reaction can be identified
 Hypothesis
• Exothermic reaction releases heat, while
endothermic reaction absorbs heat
 Variable
• Constant :
– Initial temperature
• Manipulated :
– Types of material
• Sodium Hydroxide Crystals
• Ammonium Chloride Crystals
• Sodium Chloride Crystals
• Responding :
– Final temperature
 Materials
• 1 spatula of
– Sodium Hydorixe crystals (Beaker A)
• 1 spatula of
– Ammonium Chloride crystals (Beaker B)
• 1 spatula of
– Sodium Chloride crystals (Beaker C)
• Distilled water
 Apparatus
• 3 Beakers
• 1 thermometer
• 3 spatulas
 Procedure/Method
• About 20 ml of distilled water is poured into a beaker
• The initial temperature of the distilled water is
recorded
• A spatula of Sodium Hydoxide Crystals is added in
the beaker
• The mixture is stirred
• The final temperature is recorded
• The experiment is repeated using Ammonium
Chloride Crystals and Sodium Chloride Crystals
 Results/Observation Table

 Conclusion
• Exothermic reaction causing the
temperature of the solution to
increase/decrease
• Endothermic reaction causing the
temperature of the solution to
increase/decrease
• The hypothesis can/cannot be accpeted
