During the chemical reaction that takes place inside a hot pack, is energy being released to the surroundings or taken in from the surroundings and why?

Energy is taken in because all chemical reactions take in energy.
Energy is released because the temperature of the surroundings increases.
Energy is taken in because the temperature of the surroundings increases.
Energy is released because all chemical reactions release energy.

Energy is released because the temperature of the surroundings increases.

Explanation:

"Energy is released because the temperature of the surroundings increases" is true because when the temperature of the hot pack increases, that means that energy (heat/thermal) is being released.

"Energy is taken in because the temperature of the surroundings increases" is false because energy is actually being released in this chemical reaction.

"Energy is taken in because all chemical reactions take in energy" is false because energy is being released in this reaction and not all chemical reactions absorb energy.

"Energy is released because all chemical reactions release energy" is false because not all chemical reactions release energy.

try answer.com that works for me

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
