endothermic.
REACTION 2.: Heating copper carbonate
WORD EQUATION:
COPPER CARBONATE COPPER OXIDE + CARBON DIOXIDE
This is an ENDOthermic chemical reaction.
WORD EQUATION:
AMMONIUM CARBONATE AMMONIA + WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE
GRAPHITE ELECTRODE
GRAPHITE ELECTRODE
When current flows, COPPER is formed on the NEGATIVE electrode and bubbles of YELL-GREEN
CHLORINE gas are given off from the POSITIVE electrode.
This gas smells like SMIMMING POOL WATER
This reaction is an ENDOTHERMIC chemical reaction because ELECTRICAL energy is taken in
during the chemical reaction.
WORD EQUATION
COPPER CHLORIDE COPPER + CHLORINE
Fill a tube with oxygen and lower a glowing wooden splint into it. If it is oxygen it will relight the
splint.
Fill a tube with hydrogen and bring a flame to the mouth of the tube. If it explodes with a pop then it
is hydrogen
Bubble the gas through a solution of limewater. If the solution turns milky then the gas is carbon
dioxide
Put the liquid to be tested on some blue COBALT CHLORIDE paper. If it turns pink then the liquid
contained water,
Note: you only know it is pure water if it boils at 100oC at sea level.
