Question

...

Answer 1

what does that reaction mean?

Answer 2

my computer is frozen- trying to answer you

Answer 3

The oxygen is mixed with the magnesium

Answer 4

and would make it endothermic???

Answer 5

because the magnesium is becoming warmer and will eventually burn completely???

Answer 6

what does endothermic mean?

Answer 7

when heat is formed and energy is created?

Answer 8

thinking that if it is an endothermic, what are the consequences?

Answer 9

I must be way off. I apologize. I thought I understaood it.

Answer 10

watch this short video, which is an example of an endothermic reaction

Answer 11

would the heat be absorbed as a consequence/

Answer 12

Okay I will watch it. Thank you.

Answer 13

It was cold instead of hot (endothermic) but I don't understand. In a previous lesson of mine, it said that if we warm ourselves with an electric blanket, it would be endothermal. This would mean heat, not cold.

Answer 14

* endothermic (not endothermal)

Answer 15

this guy is really good at making things easy to understand

so you are correct, endothermic means it absorbs heat (endo - within or in)
exothermic (exo - outside)
so when you see a +△H it means it is has absorbed heat
and -△H means it has released heat

Answer 16

So I had it backwards. It would be negative (releasing heat) - B

Answer 17

because the magnesium would in fact be releasing heat as it burns ????

Answer 18

so what do you think is the answer?

Answer 19

endothermic = absorbs = +△H

Answer 20

so release would be -△H ??

Answer 21

yeahhhh when you take out money (think of it as heat), you are deducting it from your pocket

Answer 22

That makes sense- thank you so much
