An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation:reactants → products + energy

What is the difference between normal reaction and abnormal reaction?
Normal reaction happens when the reaction is normal. Abnormal reaction happens when the reaction is abnormal.
When energy is absorbed during a chemical reaction the reaction is classified as what reaction?
endothermic reaction
What chemical reaction that can proceed forward or backward is a?
You think probable to a reversible reaction.
What measures of how fast reaction occurs?
The measure is the rate of reaction.
The reaction in which two or more substances react to form a single substance?
A synthesis reaction or dehydration synthesis, also called a condensation reaction.
What type of reaction is CH4 plus 2O2 - CO2 plus 2H2O plus 218 kcal?
this is an exotermic reaction
What happens to KBr when it dissolves in water?
Highly exotermic reaction, that can start boiling water. if you dont know who to do it, DONT DO IT>
What are conventional bombs?
The conventional bombs are the non-nuclear ones. They use a exotermic chemical reaction to obtain a sudden release of great amount of energy. In such weapons, nuclear fission and fussion are not significant source of energy, and radiocativity is not used as part of its offensive power. Regards, Mario/Brazil
Is Na2CO3 H2O endothermic or exotermic reaction?
If formed out of elements C + O2 it is exothermic (heat, fire); But as degradation of complex compounds it depends on the compound used and other product formed, but a lot of degradations are endothermic (needs high temperatures and stops after heating is stopt, it cools 'itself' down)
What is the difference between normal reaction and abnormal reaction?
Normal reaction happens when the reaction is normal. Abnormal reaction happens when the reaction is abnormal.
What reaction is opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
Why initial reaction is required to minus from final reaction?
The initial reaction is required to be subtracted from the final reaction to get the net reaction.
When energy is absorbed during a chemical reaction the reaction is classified as what reaction?
endothermic reaction
If you have a forward reaction and reverse reaction occurring together what type of reaction is that?
reversible reaction
What are types of isolation?
Answer a.speed of the reaction. b.products of the reaction. c.pH of the reaction. d.temperature of the reaction
What chemical reaction that can proceed forward or backward is a?
You think probable to a reversible reaction.
What are types of chemical reaction?
1 combination reaction. 2. displacement reaction. 3.decomposition reaction. 4.displacement reaction.
