Energy released by a chemical reaction is released as heat to the surroundings thus rising the temperature of the room or lab etc where the reaction is taking place. Similarly, energy absorbed by endothermic is either supplied by external heating of reaction mixture over a flame or absorbed from surroundings.
The law of conservation of matter/mass applies to chemical reactions. This is why chemical equations must be balanced. The matter that goes into a chemical reaction is present in the products of the reaction, but the atoms have been rearranged to form products with new and unique properties different from the reactants.
true false is not correct
A standard chemical reaction always and only involves a change in the electron configuration of the atom (either the number of electrons or their energy configuration).If the nucleus is affected (either the number of protons or electrons), then it is designated as a nuclear reaction, and this is quite different.
Exergonic reactions indicate a negative change in Gibbs free energy, which in English means that the reactions are spontaneous and do not require addition of energy. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood and lungs is an example. It is the concentration gradient that runs these exchanges passively, without additional energy from the cells.
Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction, because it is a reaction between a molecule and oxygen (O2) to produce a new molecule plus CO2 (if it's a complete combustion) or CO (if it is an incomplete combustion). Combustion is also an exothermic reaction, which means that heat is released.
Yes, compounds can be created by chemical reaction. They can also be destroyed by chemical reaction.
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
An enzyme in a biochemical reaction fits this definition.
in chemical reactions, energy is absorbed or released when chemical bonds are broken and new ones are formed.
Chemical bonds are made and broken by chemical reactions. After chemical bonds have been broken, then energy is released, and if a chemical bond is made, then energy is absorbed.
Activation energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. This energy is used to join the reactants together or break them apart. If a reaction is exothermic then it gives energy out. If it is endo thermic then the reaction takes energy in.
The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction.
It depends. There are two types of chemical reaction int his sense. Exothermic reactions release energy and endothermic reactions absorb it.
Yes, heat is often released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. This is because chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds, and the energy difference between these bonds is released or absorbed in the form of heat.
Chemical reactions usually involve change of heat due to energy absorbed or evolved during reaction.
Energy is either released or absorbed in form of heat or light. Energy participates in all reactions.
No, chemical reactions are not the only reactions that may involve absorption of energy. A physical change like heating water to vapor is also endothermic.
