The amount of energy that is used or released as heat in a reaction.
Energy is measured in joules. Sometimes the older unit "calorie" is used instead - this is a unit defined on the basis of heat, but it is still a unit of energy.
This the heat released during a chemical reaction.
If you wanted to, you could ask what the heat of formation is of a given compound such as diphosphorus pentasulfide, but if you want to know about a heat of reaction, you have to specify a reaction. A compound is not a reaction.
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
The amount of energy that is used or released as heat in a reaction.
Energy is measured in joules. Sometimes the older unit "calorie" is used instead - this is a unit defined on the basis of heat, but it is still a unit of energy.
Heat of a reacion is the totall amount of heat a reaction produces. Molar heat of a reaction is the heat produced/mol if you have the molar hear of the reaction you can calculate the heat of the reaction based on the moles of reactants you have
If heat from a reaction is released, it is an exothermic reaction.
An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, an exothermic reaction releases heat.
Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.
This the heat released during a chemical reaction.
Exothermic reaction: with release of heat Endothermic reaction: with absorption of heat
if the reaction is exothermic (creates heat) then adding heat will cause the reaction to run in the reverse direction if the reaction is endothermic (requires heat) then heat will speed it up
An endothermic reaction need heat to occur.
Endothermic-take in Heat, as opposed to exothermic which gives off heat-like a fire or explosion.
Heat is written as a product of the reaction (apecs answer)
