An endothermic reaction absorbs heat. It cannot proceed without the addition of heat.
An exothermic reaction releases heat. Since heat causes chemical reactions to go faster, an exothermic reaction can "feed on itself" and get out of control, releasing damaging amounts of heat and, if proceeding in a closed container, causing an explosion.

What is the difference of the endothermic and exothermic change?
An endothermic change requires heat, and an exothermic change releases heat.
What is the difference between a exothermic chemical reaction and a endothermic chemical reaction?
energy released by the reaction or energy absorbed.
Is the reaction between HF and NaOH an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
EXTREMELY!!!!! exothermic. As in fires and explosions exothermic.
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is the reaction between between hydrogen peroxide and yeast an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
endothermic because it absorbs energy, and not releasing it
What is the different between endothermic and endothermic?
The difference between endothermic and exothermic energy is that exothermic energy is the reaction that releases energy and endothermic is the reaction in ehich energy is absorbed.
How can you tell the difference between an endothermic and exothermic reaction?
You can generally tell by changes in temperature, whether you have an exothermic reaction which produces heat, or an endothermic reaction which consumes heat.
What is the difference of the endothermic and exothermic change?
An endothermic change requires heat, and an exothermic change releases heat.
What is the diffrencence between exothermic reaction and chemical reaction?
Exothermic reaction is just one of the two possible chemical reactions: either exothermic or endothermic. (No difference but heat release)
Is the reaction between citric acid an sodium endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic
What is the difference of endothermic reaction from exothermic reaction?
An endothermic reaction requires heat to form products. An exothermic reaction produces heat when it forms products.
What is the difference between a exothermic chemical reaction and a endothermic chemical reaction?
energy released by the reaction or energy absorbed.
Is the reaction between caesium and water exothermic or endothermic?
This is a strong exothermic reaction.
Is the reaction between potassium permanganate and glycerin a endothermic or exothermic reaction?
Exothermic
When clothes are drying is it an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
The combustion is exothermic.
What is the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic chemical reaction?
Nothing to explain; that is the way EXO- and ENDOthemic reactions are called by definition
Which state changes are exothermic and endothermic?
freezing is exothermic, melting is endothermic, evaporation is endothermic, condensation is exothermic.
