An endothermic reaction absorbs energy, making its environment cooler.
Ab exothermic reaction releases energy, making its environment warmer.
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.
You can generally tell by changes in temperature, whether you have an exothermic reaction which produces heat, or an endothermic reaction which consumes heat.
energy released by the reaction or energy absorbed.
The amount of heat given off by the reaction
EXTREMELY!!!!! exothermic. As in fires and explosions exothermic.
The reaction between potassium permanganate and glycerin is exothermic, which means it releases heat as it proceeds. This reaction is highly exothermic and can lead to spontaneous combustion in some cases.
A chemical reaction is a process that involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds to create new substances. An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that releases heat energy to the surroundings. In other words, all exothermic reactions are chemical reactions, but not all chemical reactions are exothermic.
exothermic reaction releases energy and endergonic reaction absorbs energy
The terms "endothermic" and "exothermic" refer to whether a chemical reaction absorbs or releases heat, respectively. In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, while in an exothermic reaction, heat is released into the surroundings.
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.
An exothermic reaction releases heat energy to the surroundings, while an exergonic reaction releases free energy. Both types of reactions involve the release of energy, but exothermic reactions specifically involve the release of heat.
A reaction between an alcohol and an anhydrid is usually exothermic, so I would say it is.
