chemical reaction.
• State what happens to atoms in a chemical
reaction.
 Question 2
• Marcus plans an investigation to find out

hear water. He measures how hot the water
gets/
State whether the burning reaction are
exothermic or endothermic. Explain your
decision.
 Question 3

the end of the reaction there was 56g of
calcium oxide in the tube. Calculate the mass
of carbon dioxide made. Show your working.
 Question 4
• Burning methane is a chemical reaction. Here
are some ways of representing this reaction.
