Chemical reactions that absorb more energy than they release are called?

It's an endothermic reaction. When more energy is absorbed than released, it has to be absorbed from surroundings. That means the surroundings lose heat as energy is absorbed from them to complete the reaction. This translates to a cooler feeling around the reaction. If you're holding a beaker with an endothermic reaction going on inside it, your hand will feel cool because the reaction is actually absorbing energy from you. An example of an endothermic reaction is combining vinegar and baking soda.

Can chemical reactions absorb energy?
yes they do,the reactions which absorb energy are called endothermic reaction.
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
What is energy released from chemical reactions called?
Light Energy,Electrical Energy,Light and thermal energy
Does a protein catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions in organisms called an enzyme?
Yes, proteins which catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.
Substances that are changed when they become involved in chemical reactions are?
Reactants are substances that are changed when they become involved in chemical reactions. Products are the new substances that are formed.
Can chemical reactions absorb energy?
yes they do,the reactions which absorb energy are called endothermic reaction.
What is energy released or absorbed during chemical change called?
It depends. There are two types of chemical reaction int his sense. Exothermic reactions release energy and endothermic reactions absorb it.
What is the type of chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed?
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
Chemical reactions that release energy do if occur or don't?
These are called exothermic reactions.
What chemical reaction release thermal energy?
only nuclear reactionsChemical reactions that release free energy are called exergonic reactions. Fire and cellular respiration are examples of exergonic reactions.
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
What are chemical reactions that release energy in the abscence of oxygen called?
that's exothermic reactions in general. :)
What is a colered chemical compound that absorb light called?
colored chemical componds that absorb light called
What is one similarity between exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction?
Endothermic reactions and exothermic reactions all involve something called an enthalpy change: a change in the amount of energy a chemical contains. The difference here is that exothermic reactions release heat energy to their surroundings, whereas endothermic reactions absorb heat from their surroundings (in effect, getting colder).
Chains of chemical reactions in living organisms are called?
Bio-chemical reactions.
Chemical reaction that releases energy?
All chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat are called exothermic reactions.
Are reactions chemical?
Not ALL reactions are chemicals. When chemicals reacte with other chemicals it is called as chemical reactions.
