Some chemical reactions are exothermic, some are endothermic.
An 'exothermic' reaction gives of energy, and an 'endothermic' reaction absorbs energy.
Chemical changes can either absorb or release energy. When a chemical reaction releases energy, it is called an exothermic reaction. This means that the products of the reaction have lower energy than the reactants, and the excess energy is released in the form of heat or light.
Exothermic reactions release energy. Endothermic reactions absorb energy.
Heat energy is necessary for some chemical reactions to occur. Some chemical reactions are endothermic meaning they require or absorb energy for a chemical reaction to occur. Other chemical reaction are exothermic meaning they release energy when the chemical reaction takes place..
For an energetically favorable reaction to occur, the reactants must have lower energy than the products, and the reaction must release energy rather than absorb it. This is known as having a negative change in free energy (G) for the reaction to proceed spontaneously.
Exothermic reactions
Yes, chemical reactions can absorb energy. This can occur in endothermic reactions, where energy is required for the reaction to proceed. Examples include the reaction of baking soda and vinegar, which absorbs heat energy.
endothermic
The difference can be clarified by entropy (the second rule of thermodynamics).The reaction is more spontaneous with higher entropy, for the reactions that occur spontaneously the entropy is higher than for the ones that do not.
energy
The relative amount of energy released in chemical reactions varies depending on the specific reaction. Some reactions release a lot of energy, while others release less or even absorb energy. This energy release or absorption is known as the reaction's enthalpy change.
yes it does <><><> No- some reactions ABSORB energy. In terms of heat energy, some are exothermic, and some are endothermic.
