3. Lightsticks contain a substance that breaks down during a chemical reaction. A release of energy (as light) accompanies this reaction. Therefore, the amount of light released
is proportional to the number of molecules breaking down.
a) The lightsticks below are in water of different temperatures. Which one is in the warmer water?
b) What would be the effect on the intensity of a lightstick and the duration of its glow if a lightstick was placed in a freezer?
8. What is the symbol for energy/heat flow in the field of thermochemistry?

Microwave ovens work by causing polar molecules (for example, the water in food)
to rotate. The food is heated as the water molecules are caused to spin around and
bump into each other. Could a microwave oven be used to heat a sample of a
mixture of oils (CH3, C3H18, and C12H26)? Explain your response.
