    Exercise 5.2 Exothermic reactions

    The first part of this exercise wittgive you practice in writingword equatro'-=
    The rest of the exercise witt hetp you to took criticatly at evidence from ar
    investigation "

    r Write a word equation for burning sulfur in oxygen.

    z Write a word equation for the reaction between magnesium and sulfuric acid.

    3 When magnesium ribbon is placed in sulfuric acid, a chemical reaction takes


    place and heat energY is given off.
    Liang and Naranbaatar are planning an investigation into the effect of the
    l.r.gth of magnesium ribbon on the increase in temperature' They decide to
    carry out some preliminarY work.
    trxplain what preliminary work they could do and how this would help them
    plan their investigation.

    4 Simon and Nirav are carrying out an investigation to find which of the metals
    X or Y produces the higher temperature in a reaction with hydrochloric acid.
    Simon measures out 10 cm3 of hydrochloric acid in a test tube. He measures
    the temperature and then places a small piece of metal X into the acid. He
    ,.es brbbles of gas given off. When the reaction finishes, he measures the
    temperature again.

    Nirav measures out l0 cm3 of hydrochloric acid in a test tube. He measures
    the temperature and then places a piece of metal Y into the acid. He also
    sees bubbles of gas given off. When the reaction finishes, he measures the
    temperature again.

    Simon's experiment Nirav's experiment

    hydrochloric acid hydrochtoric acid

    metalX metatY

    Which variable did Simon and Nirav need to change in their experiment?

    Which variable or variables have they kept the same?

    There is one variable that Simon and Nirav changed, but which they
    should have kept the same. What is this variable?

    In the reaction with metal X, the temperature increased by 2'C. In the


    reaction with metal Y the temperature increased by 6'C.
    What conclusions can you draw from these results?

    Suggest how Simon and Nirav could improve their investigation and make
    their results more reliable.
