Let's think about what happens in the combustion of methane. Take natural gas for example (methane) used to heat homes, or used in stoves. The product is heat, therefore heat is given off. Therefore EXOTHERMIC.

Difference between endothermic and exothermic?
Endo draws heat from around it. Exo gives off heat. Example: Ice melting is a endothermic reaction. A match lighting is an exothermic reaction.An exothermic reaction releases heat to it's surroundings. The change in energy is negative. An example is combustion of natural gas.An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, so the temperature of the surroundings drops. The energy is positive. An example is melting ice cubes.
Exothermic reaction will release heat as a product?
YES ... an Exothermic reaction gives off heat (as the name implies.) The prefix, 'Exo' tells us it's giving off heat whereas a prefix of 'Endo' (as in Endothermic) means it needs to receive heat.
Which is the best term to describe a chemical reaction in which the reactants have more potential energy than the products?
Mrs. Winn. eh?- is called an endothermic reaction.
If the reaction gets hot is it an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
The reverse reaction is not always endothermic or exothermic, the reverse reaction is the opposite of whatever the initial reaction is, so if the reaction is endothermic, the reverse reaction is exothermic and vise versa.
What is the difference between a endothermic reaction and a exothermic reaction?
we can answer this question by studying the words themselves. firstly thermic relates to heat. more to the point endo is a prefix for inside while exo is a prefix for outside. therefore an endothermic reaction is one which absorbs heat while an exothermic reaction is one that emits heat. exothermic reaction releases heat from a system to the environment..i.e. explosion of bomb. while endothermic absorbs heat from the environment to the system..i.e. frying fish.
Is ammonium endo or exothermic?
endothermic but don't know why? As AN crystals are formed the reaction is exothermic. Endothermic when it melts back with water. This is the reason AN is used in cold packs.
How do you classify a chemical reaction?
A reaction can be classified as either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings while exothermic reactions do the opposite.
Is freezing Endo or Exo?
Freezing is exothermic.

Is melting ice cubes endo or exothermic?
No, freezing is exothermic as the water loses energy to its surroundings as it freezes.
Is NaCl an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
Only with very high heat. This compound can melt without decomposition.
Exothermic reaction will release heat as a product?
YES ... an Exothermic reaction gives off heat (as the name implies.) The prefix, 'Exo' tells us it's giving off heat whereas a prefix of 'Endo' (as in Endothermic) means it needs to receive heat.
What type of reaction do you get when you mix ammonium chloride with water endo or exothermic?
good question endothermic. Ammonium chloride dissolves in water and makes it cold.
When an electric eel shocks its prey is that endothermic or exothermic?
When it shocks its prey its exothermic. A simple way to remember this is Endo- = In and Exo- = Out.
How is energy involved in a chemical reaction?
Activation energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. This energy is used to join the reactants together or break them apart. If a reaction is exothermic then it gives energy out. If it is endo thermic then the reaction takes energy in.
Which is the best term to describe a chemical reaction in which the reactants have more potential energy than the products?
Mrs. Winn. eh?- is called an endothermic reaction.
Will the temperature in a reaction always go up?
Exo- means out Endo- means in. In an Exothermic reaction thermal energy is released (goes out) and in an Endothermic reaction Thermal energy is taken up, transferring into chemical energy (goes in). So, to answer your question, no, the temperature does not go up in both an exothermic and an endothermic reaction.
