B adding magnesium to hydrochloric acid
C calcium carbonate decomposing when heated
D combustion of fossil fuels


5. Solid hydrated sodium carbonate was added to solid citric acid.

Which row describes the reaction?


6. Which row correctly describes whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic?


7 A metal reacts with an aqueous solution.
The graph shows the temperature before, during and after the reaction.

 

Which row describes the reaction?

8. The diagrams show four chemical reactions.
Which reaction is endothermic?
9. Limestone can be changed into slaked lime in two chemical reactions.

                  
    1 When limestone, CaCO3, is heated it decomposes into lime, CaO.


    2 Water is slowly dripped onto the cooled lime. The lime appears to expand and steam is  

      produced. Slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, is formed.
