Is a firecracker exploding an example of an endothermic or exothermic reaction?

Answer 1

A dynamite exposion is an exothermic reaction. The net energy effect of the reaction is to release energy back into the system. Not to take energy in from the system.

In otherwords, in the net chemical reaction, energy is a product, not a reactant.

Answer 2

explosions are exothermic reactions, because when an explosion is lit, it gives out heat and will result it to burn out/on/off and can destroy "stuff". BOOM is the word for an explosion that can occur in a matter of seconds.

Answer 3

No, it is exothermic. Explosions release heat and light because the energy of the products of those reactions are less than the energy of the reactants. Therefore, that excess energy that was locked up in the reactants' bonds gets passed along to the surroundings. Reactions which produce heat, and therefore release energy, are exothermic.

Answer 4

It is generally accepted that an endothermic explosion is not possible
