As energy is released potential energy remains the same I believe.
When a reaction has products that have a lower temperature than the reactants did, the reaction is endothermic.
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
Exothermic reaction
exothermic reaction .
For example in an exothermic chemical reaction.
Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.
what is released during a chemical reaction is ENERGY.
Heat is released by an exothermic reaction. Exothermic means heat releasing.
exothermic reaction
depends , if the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. if the reaction is endothermic , the energy needed to break the bonds is greater than the energy that forms bonds.and to break bonds you need thermal energy , meanwhile forming bonds gives off energy. now if the reaction is exothermic the energy given off the bonds form are greater than the enrgy needed to break them. you know if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic because exothermic have a negitave delta next to d eqn.while endothermic have a positive delta.
The energy release of an exothermic reaction is released to the surroundings.
Heat.
