Exothermic reactions give out energy overall. Here are some exothermic reactions:

- Combustion of fuels such as hydrogen & methane

- Neutralisation of an acid by an alkali

- Reaction between sulphur & iron


Endothermic reactions take in energy overall. Here are some endothermic reactions:


- Reactions involved in cooking

- The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate

- Photosynthesis in which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide & water to make their own food

Is combustion exothermic or endothermic?

exothermic reactions are the reactions which give out heat and endothermic reactions are the reaction which absorb heat.so combustion is an exothermic reaction.


Reactions that release heat as bonds are broken are called .?

exothermic


Are Ombustion reactions exothermic or endothermic?

Combustion reactions are exothermic.


What is the opposite of exothermic?

The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.


How are exothermic and exothermic reaction are different and how are they the same?

Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.


What is the opposite of endothermic?

Exothermic. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat , while an exothermic reaction releases it.


How do you recognize exothermic and endothermic reactions?

This question is poorly worded. As worded--No. You can DESCRIBE exothermic or endothermic reactions on graphs, however.


Are exothermic reactions faster than endothermic reactions?

In general, exothermic reactions are faster than endothermic reactions. This is because exothermic reactions release energy, which can help drive the reaction forward more quickly.


Contrast endothermic and exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that use heat as part of the reactant. Heat is absorbed into the reaction in order for it to continue. Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat as a product of the reaction.


What are endothermic exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions are reactions that occur when heat is increased or decreased inside a subject. Exothermic is when heat is increased or decreased outside a subject.


Is reactants to products endothermic?

Not always. In a chemical reaction, the process can be either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings, while exothermic reactions release heat into the surroundings. The specific reaction will determine whether it is endothermic or exothermic.


What does endothermic reaction do?

There are two types of reactions, thermally. Endothermic and exothermic. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat and an exothermic reaction releases it.
