A scientist wants to perform a reaction in a vacuum chamber to control the experiment as much as possible and to prevent other variables from impacting the reaction. The scientist is trying to determine if the reaction is endothermic or exothermic and measure how much energy is absorbed or given off. Is this a sound approach? Why or why not? In three to five sentences, explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

I understand about controlling variables but wont a vacuum hinder the transfer of heat out of the container in the case of a exothermic reaction reaction or into the container from the surroundings in the case of an endothermic reaction?

Answer 2

If anyone has their response still could u post it id like to double check mine if thats okay 🙏
