What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?

Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.

Do a chemical reaction produce heat and light?

Chemical reactions can produce heat and energy but not all chemical reactions produce them. Exothermic reactions produce heat and energy (possibly in the form of photons/light), while endothermic reaction absorb them.


Chemical reaction that produces heat?

What kind of chemical changes produces heat?

Exothermic chemical reactions release energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. A common example would be the combustion (oxidation) of methane*:Methane: CH4 + 2O2 -----> CO2 + 2H2O + Energy (heat and light)* The combustion of methane (natural gas) is commonly used to heat water, cook, and to heat homes.


What is the difference an exothermic reaction and an 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 .

Will a chemical reaction that asborbs energy happen with out a source of energy?

No, a chemical reaction that absorbs energy is called an endothermic reaction. The transfer of heat from the surrounds into the substance. In reactions, energy is always CONVERTED, not created which means that nothing can be converted i.e. heat to chemical if there is no heat or initial energy.
