    In paper-12…
    would temperature increase if water was added to anhydrous cobalt(II)chloride.
    I only know for sure that its gonna turn pink when added water…..
    BUT temperature ???

      Temperature incresed because backward reaction was exothermoc

      I believe temperature would increase as the forward reaction was endothermic so the reverse would have been exothermic, thus increasing temperature

        it said steam given off.
    - Samar on May 18, 2015 at 6:11 pm said:
      
      Um I said it is increasing because forward reaction is endothermc as stean is given off so it need to absorb energy to give steam (evaporation) and evaporation is enothermic so if forward reaction is endothermic then backward reaction will be exothermic which favours increase in temperature

      Temperature is high because it is exothermic

      yes even I was unsure. I wrote temp decreases but everyone says its increase… Im not sure…

      its increse since the backward rection is exothermic

      It’s increase because when you HEAT hydrated copper chloride it turns to Anhydrous salt and WATER IS REMOVED. This reaction is endothermic, isn’t it? We are providing heat so it’s endothermic,
      
      So when you REMOVE WATER it’s ENDOTHERMIC and so when you ADD WATER to anhydrous salt, the reaction will be EXOTHERMIC, so temperature INCREASES.

      Temperature would increase when you add water because you are heating it in order to change it to pink 🙂 !

    - Rawan on May 18, 2015 at 2:49 pm said:
      
      Yes It would increase because it’s a reversible reaction, you heat one, so it’s endothermic,, the reverse reaction is obviously exothermic so temperature increases!

      The temperature will increase because making bonds is an exothermic reaction so the heat will be given out

  12 Was easy and 32 had about 1 part of a question in the middle that wasn’t that hard but not that easy.
