There are several ways of increasing the rate of a reaction. One of them is increasing the temperature. Increasing the temperature adds energy to the molecules, making them move faster and collide more frequently, therefore react more frequently.

What chemical reactions can give off heat or what?

These chemical reactions are named exothermic.


Do chemical reactions need heat to start them off?

Endothermic reactions need heat.


Chemical reaction that produces heat?

Chemical reactions that produce heat (or energy) are known as Exothermic Reactions. (Example: combustion of fuels)


What is the study of heat transfer during chemical reactions and changes of state is?

The study of heat transfer during chemical reactions and changes of state is known as thermochemistry. Thermochemistry deals with the heat of reaction, enthalpy, and heat transfer in chemical processes. It is important in understanding the energy changes associated with chemical reactions.


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.


What energy helps chemical reactions to form?

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


Do chemical reactions transfer energy?

Yes, chemical reactions can transfer energy in the form of heat or light. Exothermic reactions release energy in the form of heat, while endothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings.


Do all chemical reactions need heat to start them?

no


Do chemical reactions often give out heat?

yes


Are chemical reaction affected by differences in temperature?

Yes, temperature has an effect on the speed of the reaction. Also most chemical reactions create heat. I feel that it is not exactly correct to say that most chemical reaction create heat. That is true for exothermic reactions, which give off heat, but endothermic reactions absorb heat instead.


Why do some chemical reactions release heat while others absorb heat?

Chemical reactions release or absorb heat based on whether they release or require energy to break or form bonds between atoms. Reactions that release heat are exothermic, as they release energy, while reactions that absorb heat are endothermic, as they require energy input.


Can energy be asorbed or released during chemical reactions?

Yes they can be either absorbed or release during chemical reactions. That is why some reactions explode or give off heat and some absorb heat making them cooler.
