TAG – Chemistry (Grade 11)

Learning Competency: Recognize that energy is released or absorbed during

a chemical reaction. (S11/12PS-IIIi-28)

Topic: Exothermic and Endothermic Reaction

Activity No_____

Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the period, the learners should be able to:
1. determine if energy is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction;
2. define exothermic and endothermic reaction; and
3. demonstrate how energy is released or absorbed.

Task 1: (To be prepared a day before the activity to be conducted)

Secure the materials needed for the activity. Number of materials will
depend on the number of groups depending on the teacher.

Task 2. Motivational Activity

Task 3. Activity Proper

LAS- Chemistry (Grade 11)

Heat Up! Cool Down!

I. Objectives:
After the activity, I will be able to:
1. determine which sample absorbs or releases energy (e.g. heat); and
2. calculate the temperature change of the reaction.

II. Materials:
Clear glass or cup
Water
White Vinegar
Baking Soda
Salt
Steel Wool
Thermometer

III. Procedure:
1. The table below has a list of liquids to combine with solids.For your
results, fill out Table 1.
2. Fill the glass or cup about half way with the liquid.
3. Insert the thermometer in the liquid and record the temperature.

 4. Add a tablespoon of the dry material. Record your observations.
5. Wait 2 minutes and record the final temperature of the solution.
6. Discard the solution and try another combination.
7. For each trial, calculate the change in temperature of the reaction
by subtracting the initial value from the final value.

IV. Analysis Question

1. What do you observe when adding water and salt and water and ice?
The glass or cup feels cold to touch and you can see water vapor
outside of the cold glass or cup. The ice and salt when added to
water separately takes time to dissolve and stirring is needed.

2. What do you observe when adding vinegar and baking soda, and
vinegar and steel wool?
The glass or cup feels warm to touch. Formation of bubbles is also
present when adding vinegar and baking soda and hydrogen
peroxide and yeast. When the steel wool is added or soaked to the
vinegar, formation of rust is observed.

3. Why should you wait the same amount of time for each trial?
We should wait the same amount of time for each trial in order to
have a uniform time for each experiment and to compare them to
each other since time is a control variable.

 V. Conclusion:

I therefore conclude that some samples absorb or release energy by

feeling cool or warm to touch. The water and salt and water and ice mixtures
in glass feel cool to touch thus they absorb energy while the vinegar and
steel wool, and vinegar and baking soda feel warm to touch thus they
release energy.

In calculating the temperature change of the samples, the initial

temperature must be subtracted from the final temperature and as observed
when the temperature increases one can say that it releases energy. When
temperature decreases one can say that it absorbs energy.

Task 4: Processing Guide Questions towards achieving the Lesson

Objectives
1. Why do you observe that when you add water and salt and water and
ice, the glass or cup feel cool to touch?
It is observed that when you add water and ice and water and salt
the glass feel cool to touch because condensation happens at the outside
wall of the glass and this implies that energy is absorbed. The heat has
passed from our hands to the glass.

2. As for the addition of vinegar and baking soda, vinegar and steel wool,
and hydrogen peroxide and yeast, why do the cup feel warm when you
touch it?
It feel warm to touch the glass when you add vinegar and baking
soda, vinegar and steel wool because the energy is released. The heat
flows out from the glass to our hands.

3. What do you call the reaction when the glass or cup feel cool to touch?
feel warm to touch? Define each one.
The reaction when the glass feels cool to touch is endothermic
reaction. Endothermic reactions are reactions that absorbs energy. On the
other hand, exothermic reactions are reactions that releases energy that is
why the glass feels warm to touch.

Task 5: Application
1. Coal is reacted with oxygen in the process of combustion.This reaction
produces a lot of heat (exothermic). The heat turns water into steam that then
powers the turbines.
2. Baking bread is an endothermic reaction wherein the dough absorbs heat
from the environment in order to rise and cook properly.
