Answer the following questions.

1 Classify the following chemical reactions or physical processes to an

exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction.

(a) Respiration (Exothermic)

(b) Photosynthesis (Endothermic)
(c) Combustion of ethanol (Exothermic)
(d) Frying egg (Endothermic)
(e) Decomposition of waste by bacteria in the soil (Exothermic)
(f) Evaporation of sweat (Exothermic)
(g) Melting of ice (Endothermic)

2 Name the type of reaction shown in the figures below.

Exothermic Endothermic

3 State whether the following statement is true or false.

a. The chemical reactions that absorb heat from the True

surrounding are known as endothermic reaction.
b. The chemical reaction that absorbs heat from the False
environment is known as exothermic reaction.
c. Surrounding temperature increases in an exothermic True
reaction.
d. The initial temperature reading of endothermic True
reaction is higher than the final temperature reading.
