A student investigates two reactions. The temperatures are recorded in the table.
| Reaction | Starting temperature | Final temperature |
|---|---|---|
| A | 21.0 ∘C21.0\ ^\circ\text{C}21.0 ∘C | 28.5 ∘C28.5\ ^\circ\text{C}28.5 ∘C |
| B | 20.5 ∘C20.5\ ^\circ\text{C}20.5 ∘C | 16.0 ∘C16.0\ ^\circ\text{C}16.0 ∘C |
Calculate the temperature change for each reaction. State which reaction is endothermic and explain your answer.
106 exam-style questions on OCR GCSE Chemistry 3.2 Energetics, covering 3.2.1 Exothermic and endothermic reactions and reaction profiles and 3.2.2 Calculating energy change from bond energies. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
