Endothermic
In science we explored endothermic reactions.
First we poured water onto a wooden block.
We then mixed Barium Hydroxide and Ammonium Chloride together in a beaker with a spatula. The Barium Hydroxide was white and looked like snow. And the Ammonium Chloride was white too but it looked like big pieces of salt.
We then mixed the two substances together and it started to become more like liquid. The beaker also became very cold.
The reason it became cold was because the chemicals absorbed the surrounding heat for the reaction.
The scientific equation
Ba (OH)2 (aq) + 2NH4 CI (aq) → BaCI2 (aq) +2NH3 (g) + H2O (1)
When we mixed the two salts together one of the things we made was water.
