This is due to changes in energy. Look at the chemical reaction A + B --> C . Say it requires a lot of energy for A and B to react together, but very little energy to keep C as C. All the energy you put into the reaction to make A and B turn into C will be released as heat once C is formed. However if it requires a lot of energy to keep C as C after the reaction happens, then the reaction will seem cold because it is taking energy in the form of heat out of its surroundings!

some chemicals have their optimum temperature. that is where the chem works at it best, when the temp is taken up or down the chem doesnt work at its optimum best

Changing temperatures has a dramatic affect on the rate of chemical reaction. As an example for every 10 degrees you raise the environment the reaction doubles (to a certain degree)


Do catalysts affect temperature?

A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.

Why does a chemical change in temperature indicate that a chemical reaction may have occurred?

A change of temperature implies that some energy has been transfered or used. Since chemical reactions either require or release energy to occur, the environment may change temperature as the substances react.
