Cherylanne mixes together Chemical A and Chemical B in a test tube, forming Chemical C. The mixture instantly turns cool to the touch. She then adds Chemical D, and the reaction becomes hot and explodes. What can be known about this situation? Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction. Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an endothermic reaction. Chemicals A and C form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an exothermic reaction. Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an endothermic reaction.

Answer:

A or 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction.

the rest are wrong

Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an endothermic reaction.

Chemicals A and C form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an exothermic reaction.

Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an endothermic reaction.

Answer:

Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction that produced chemical C is an endothermic reaction whereas, the reaction between C and D is an exothermic one.

An exothermic change is one in which heat is liberated to the surroundings. So the surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the reaction.

An endothermic reaction is a change in which heat is absorbed from the surrounding and hence the surrounding colder at the end of the change.

  • We can see that the first reaction is endothermic.
  • The second reaction is exothermic.
