DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE WORKS BOMB TO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION

Please use the following words to describe what happened in the works bomb, staring with the ingredients being added until the pop bottle was exploded. At this point you still do not know what the actual chemical reaction was, so don’t worry about trying to explain what happened chemically. Just be able to recognize that a chemical reaction occurred and between what two chemicals in your description.

1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas
4. Element
5. Compound
6. Homogeneous mixture
7. Aluminum and hydrochloric acid
8. Chemical potential energy changed to kinetic heat energy
9. Rapidly expanding gas formed from the chemical reaction and the kinetic heat energy created from the reaction that had it stored as chemical potential energy
10. Chemical change of the substances added to the bottle and the physical change of the bottle caused by trapped gasses.
11. Discuss energy to break bonds and energy given off forming bonds and which was greater in our reaction.
12. Describe the works bomb as endothermic or exothermic.
