I need someones opinion on what I should put, im so confused.... I did a lab where I poured vinegar in baking soda but the temp. stayed cold. Would that be exothermic or endothermic????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that it would be endothermic because exothermic would mean it gives off heat. You said it stayed cold.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you, and what are the potential energy in exo and endo??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a exothermic reaction Energy is released, so potential energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a endothermic reaction the products have higher potential energy than the reactants.

Okay one more thing, A match must be struck against an object to produce a spark to start the burning process. Once the match starts burning, it releases a large amount of energy. Describe, in detail, what the potential energy diagram would look like for the burning of a match, and explain how each part of the diagram relates to the process described above.
