What name is given to all chemical reactions which releases heat energy?

Exothermic reactions produce heat. Endothermic reactions take in heat from the surrounding area and get cold.


Is heat liberated in endothermic reactions?

No. Heat is given out (liberated) in exothermic reactions not endothermic. exo = out, therm = heat. Endothermic reactions take in heat energy from the surrounding wshich cause the surrounding temperature to decrease. endo = in.


What energy helps chemical reactions to form?

Heat helps chemical reactions to take place. Light can also cause some chemical reactions to take place.


What are the exothermic and endothermic reactions and how can they be used?

exothermic reactions are those that give out energy (most notably by heat) when they occur endothermic reactions require energy to take place and thus feel cold to touch as they extract heat from the surrounding environment.


What do chemical changes always take in or give off?

Some reactions give off heat (exothermic), others absorb heat (endothermic). All reactions increase entropy.


What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction?

Exothermic (hyperthermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that releases energy,*Endothermic (hypothermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that absorbs energy.** Energy = heat, light, etc.The direction of Heat transfer:Exothermic reactions transfer heat energy to the environment.Endothermic reactions transfer heat energy from the environment .


What reaction gives out energy?

If by energy you mean heat energy exothermic reactions.


What do the nuclear reactions that take place in the sun produce?

Helium plus released energy (heat)


If heat must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is?

Endothermic reactions need heat. Exothermic reactions give off heat.


Does your body use chemical energy to generate thermal energy?

yes. the reactions that take place in our body, such as respiration, generate heat


What is a chemical reaction that doesn't releases energy?

A chemical reaction that doesn't release energy is an endothermic reaction. There are few reactions that are endothermic compared to exothermic reactions (reactions that release energy as heat). Endothermic reactions actually take in heat from the environment and that is why you see a temperature drop. Examples of endothermic reactions: Electrolysis A reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate A thermal decomposition reaction (as you put heat into the reaction to break something down) Hope this helped.


Endothermic and exothermic reaction?

An exothermic reaction releases energy, usually to the surroundings. There is a net loss of energy from the reactants. However, exothermic reactions also need a little energy to get started, but this is less than the eventual amount given out. An endothermic reaction takes in energy, also usually from the surroundings. There is a net gain of energy into the reactions. Again, a little energy is lost, but this is hardly anything compared to the amount taken in.
