Chemical reactions: They’re fundamental to chemistry; they make new things by rearranging other things. They can blow stuff up ... or freeze things quickly. In short, they are awesome.

But why do some chemical reactions release massive amounts of energy, while others absorb energy? In a chemical reaction, the main change that occurs relates to the way atoms are connected (or bonded) to each other. In order to change those connections, bonds must be broken and new bonds must be formed. Let’s break down how energy is transferred in these reactions.

To understand the energy implications of chemical reactions, it’s important to keep in mind two key ideas: It takes energy to break bonds. Energy is released when bonds are formed. To understand this, consider the chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda. That’s right —the classic baking soda volcano experiment. The chemical reaction behind this science fair favorite involves baking soda—also known as sodium bicarbonate to chemists—and vinegar, otherwise known as acetic acid. These compounds react to form the molecules sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. The baking soda and vinegar are called the reactants. The sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide that are formed are called the products. Before the atoms in acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate can be rearranged to form the products, some of the bonds between the atoms in those molecules must be broken, and because the atoms are attracted to one another, it takes energy to pull them apart. Then, when the products are formed (sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide) energy is released because atoms that have an attraction for one another are brought back together. By comparing the energy absorbed when bonds in the reactants are broken with the energy released when bonds in the products are formed, you can determine whether a chemical reaction releases energy or absorbs energy overall.

Chemical reactions that release energy are called exothermic. In exothermic reactions, more energy is released when the bonds are formed in the products than is used to break the bonds in the reactants. Exothermic reactions are accompanied by an increase in temperature of the reaction mixture. Chemical reactions that absorb (or use) energy overall are called endothermic. In endothermic reactions, more energy is absorbed when the bonds in the reactants are broken than is released when new bonds are formed in the products. Endothermic reactions are accompanied by a decrease in temperature of the reaction mixture.

You can use energy level diagrams to visualize the energy change during a chemical reaction. To understand these diagrams, compare the energy level of the reactants on one side with that of the products on the other side. Consider, for example, a diagram that charts the energy change when a candle burns. Wax (C 34 H 70 ) combusts in the presence of oxygen (O 2 ) to yield carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water (H 2 O). Because more energy is released when the products are formed than is used to break up the reactants, this reaction is exothermic.

Brittny

All of this stuff relates to thermodynamics—the study of heat and its relationship to energy and work. Using thermodynamics, you’ll learn how to calculate the precise amount of energy used or released by chemical reactions. Classifying a chemical reaction as exothermic or endothermic is simple. It comes down to weighing the energy needed to break bonds in the reactants with the energy released when the products are formed.

It’s a simple idea, but one with a lot of power.

Why do I feel like my soul is gone?

According to Cummins, a lost soul can be the result of circumstances that don't align with your soul, including things like abusive relationships, a bad work environment, or simply neglecting your true passions and interests. "That can really fracture our spirit and our soul on all levels," she adds.

mindbodygreen.com - Soul Retrieval: 7 Signs Your Soul Is ""Lost"" & How To Get It Back

To understand soul retrieval, it's first important to understand how a soul can become "lost." As therapist De-Andrea Blaylock-Johnson, LCSW, tells mbg, this usually happens as a result of trauma that leaves someone feeling detached, fragmented, or seemingly separate from their body. In soul retrieval, a person is typically guided by an experienced shaman through the process of bringing the lost soul back. The shaman will reach an altered state of consciousness, go into the unseen realms of spirit, find the soul, and then begin to address whatever it is that caused the soul to fragment. From there, they'll bring the soul back into this plane. Of course, there is no scientific consensus on whether humans have souls, or whether they can get lost, no less—but the concept is accepted among shamans and some other spiritual healers.
