Like all burning reactions (with oxygen that is) burning wood is also exothermic.

What is an example of a chemical reaction that releases energy?
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called an exothermic reaction.
What is the difference between endothermic and exothermic And give examples?
Chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat, light, or sound are called exothermic reactions. Example: Mixture of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt In other words, combination reactions are exothermic. Reactions that absorb energy or require energy in order to proceed are called endothermic reactions. For example: In the process of photosynthesis, plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen.
Why is wood burning chemical energy?
how chemical energy produce in firewood useful
What is the chemical change and kindly give a example or picture?
Chemical change is a process in which reactants are changed to form one or more than one products. During a chemical change there is rearrangement of atoms i.e, breaking and formation of new bonds.This change is not reversible. For Example: # burning of wood # change in temperature or energy,as in exothermic or endothermic reactions. # formation of precipitate in a reaction.
Is rusting an example of burning?
Fire is the oxidation of carbon in the form of wood or coal and is an exothermic reaction (releases heat). Rusting is the oxidation of iron which is also an exothermic reaction releasing small amounts of heat but to be considered burning it must be an intense heat. The reaction between oxygen and iron is too slow and releases its heat over too long a period of time but that is an interesting way to think about the reaction. That is similar to asking if H2O is a rusty H2 molecule.
Is wood being chopped an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
No it is not
What is 2 examples or an exothermic reaction?
Burning wood is exothermic and photosynthesis is endothermic.
Is wood burning a exothermic reaction?
exothermic reaction
Is burning of wood a endothermic change?
nope. Endothermic reactions involve the reactants including heat, but ending up with colder products. But you started with wood without heat, and ended up with a hot fire. This is an exothermic reaction.
Is thermal decomposition a endothermic or exothermic reaction?
Thedecompositionof water is endothermic since energy is required to break up the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen in the water molecule. Therefore the decomposition of water absorbs energy, making the reaction an endothermic one.
What is an example of a chemical reaction that releases energy?
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called an exothermic reaction.
Why does wood get hotter when you a fire?
Burning is an exothermic reaction.
Why is making brownies an endothermic reaction?
An endothermic reaction is one which requires the continuous input of energy. Although some reactions require energy to start them off, e.g. combustion of wood, they will then continue to react and will emit energy, mainly in the form of heat, in an exothermic reaction. Baking a cake requires a continuous source of energy (i.e. the heat from an oven). If you turn the oven off, the cake will not continue cooking by itself. It is therefore endothermic.
What is it called when energy is released or absorbed during chemical change called?
exothermic reaction When energy is released in a chemical reaction it is called an exergonic reaction. One example of an exergonic reaction is cellular respiration in both plants and animals. It is represented by a negative change in free energy (-∆G). An exothermic reaction is only the release of energy as heat, so the more correct answer would be an exergonic reaction, which is the release of energy.
What kind of reaction energy that requires energy in the form of heat?
Like baking a cake once you heat it, it becomes a new substance. With a chemical change you can never go back to what you had before. Also like a car rusting, a match being lite, and burning wood ( the new substance for wood is ash)

Where do burning wood and coal and fossil fuel get their heat energy from?
When you burn something, you are causing an exothermic reaction to occur. When that heat is released from the reaction, is causes more to burn, keeping the exothermic reaction going.
