Displacement Reactions involving Acids Reaction Observations (Before mixing) Both clear Classify Reaction (Select all that apply) Observations (After mixing) Boiling, tube is hot, clear no color changes N*a_{2} * C * O_{3} * (aq) + H_{2}*S * O_{4} * (aq) No reaction occurred Endothermic Exothermic Gas producing Neutralization Precipitation Redox

Answer 1

A reaction in which heat is evolved is an exothermic reaction while a reaction in which heat is absorbed is an endothermic reaction.

In the first case; Na2CO3 + H2SO4, we can see that this is an acid - base reaction therefore it is a neutralization reaction. Since the tube was hot after reaction, heat is given off so it is exothermic.

In the second case; NaOH + H2SO4, we can see that this is an acid - base reaction therefore it is a neutralization reaction. We are told that the tube is not hot but we don't know the initial temperature of the tube or if it was colder than it's initial temperature so we can not make any inference regarding whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic.

Lastly, the reaction, NaCl + HC2H5OH does not occur so we mark "no reaction". We are told that the tube is not hot but we don't know the initial temperature of the tube or if it was colder than it's initial temperature so we can not make any inference regarding whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic.
