to decompose compounds which might be useful as elements or in simpler forms .. y do u ask ?

just curious...we dont have to know it?
InshaAllah 8 A* in IGCSE....Ameen.....

Ade MeLayU ke Kat $!n!???

I have a doubt and i've no idea from where i got this idea but please tell me if i'm right..
In most questions for paper 6 (chemistry) they ask what type of reaction occured. How do we know if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic if no information about temperature change is given? Also, are all reacctions with hydrogen as a by-product exothermic? What about water? There was a question: what reaction occurs when ammonium chloride reacts with water. I thought it was exothermic and so did my colleagues but the marking scheme says endothermic. Please explain!

All combustion and neutralization reaction are exothermic.

When salts dissolve, an endothermic reaction occurs.

This is the general thing you need to know for igz

||Exothermic Reactions:
1) When Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide solution a neutralistation reaction happens
2)All Displacement Reactions :
     Mg + H2SO4 ----->  MgSO4 + H2
3) Combustion

||Endothermic Reactions:
1) N2 + 02 -----> 2NO
(dunno what is it called but thats whats written in the book)
2)Thermal Decomposition:
    Ca(OH)2  ----->  CaO + H20
    2Cu (NO3)2  ------> 2CuO + 4NO2 + O2
3) Melting of ice and evaporation of water
(yes, you probably thought it was exo like me, but it turned out to be endo)

LOL Nitrogen monoxide

i knew melting of ice and evaporation of water is endothermic .. !! =P

How can melting and evaporation be exo  :o

It's endo..

Reason---> It gains kinetic energy, which implies heat energy also increases. To melt a substance, you supply heat...heat is taken in from the surrounding.
