Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception RGM021

Energy is released during all chemical reactions.

Items that test for misconception RGM021 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
RG198001	Measuring an decrease in temperature during a chemical reaction is an indicator that energy was taken in during a chemical reaction.	38%
RG183001	When a heat pack is uesd, energy is released because the temperature of the surroundings increases.	37%
RG032003	The chemical energy of a glow stick after the reaction is less than it was before the reaction because energy was transferred out of the glow stick by light.	32%
RG031003	The reactants of photosynthesis have less chemical energy than the products because energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.	29%
RG033003	When wood burns, the chemical energy of the reactants is more than the chemical energy of the products because energy was transferred from the chemical reaction as thermal energy and light.	25%
