Is there energy consumed at any time during an exothermic reaction?

Burning is an exothermic reaction, but to get gas, or wood, or coal to burn you must start by using some energy to get the reaction started. After it starts it will produce enough energy to keep the reaction going and to release excess energy.
This energy put in to start the process is called the activation energy.

What happens during an exothermic reaction?
Exothermic reaction is a reaction which gives out heat. For example: when natural gas burns it release its energy to the surroundings which could be the water in a central heating system. this is a EXOTHERMIC REACTION between natural gas and oxygen.
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
Why is energy released in a exothermic reaction?
Energy is released in an exothermic reaction because bonds are being formed.
What happens to the energy release of an exothermic reaction?
The energy release of an exothermic reaction is released to the surroundings.
A change of state where energy is given off?
Endothermic Reaction. Exothermic is a chemical reaction in which energy must be provided.
Is energy consumed at any time during an exothermic reaction?
Yes, during the time it absorbs energy to break bonds.
Is energy created during an exothermic reaction why?
NO
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
Why is energy is not created during an exothermic reaction?
Energy is only transformed from one form to another. In exothermic reaction the energy within the bonds is transformed into energy released as heat
A reaction that releases energy as it occurs is classified as?
A reaction that releases energy is exothermic.
What is a reaction that releases energy into its surroundings?
An exothermic reaction releases energy to its surroundings.
What is released by an exothermic reaction?
what is released during a chemical reaction is ENERGY.
What happens during an exothermic reaction?

A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
What is the differences between exothermic reaction and endergonic reaction?
exothermic reaction releases energy and endergonic reaction absorbs energy
Why is energy released in a exothermic reaction?
Energy is released in an exothermic reaction because bonds are being formed.
A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat?
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
