Many substances can "cause" (or participate in) exothermic reactions. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that gives off thermal energy, as opposed to an endothermic reactionwhich requires the input of energy to occur. A classic example of an exothermic reaction is the burning of gasoline in an automobile engine. Gasoline is ignited to induce an exothermic combustion reaction with free oxygen in the air. The reaction causes the release of thermal energy which is converted to mechanical energy as the resulting gasses expand inside the engine's combustion chamber. Excess thermal energy is also released into the cylinder walls of the engine. So much so that your car has a coolant system just to absorb the excess thermal energy into a water-based coolant, and dissipate it from your radiator. Lots of heat energy being given off=exothermic reaction. And again, there are many different exothermic reactions involving many different substances.

What type of reaction occurs if two substances are chemically combined and there is a release of energy?
Exothermic
What is an exothemic reaction?
An exothermic process is any process that releases or loses energy to its environment.
Is the solution process usually exothermic?
When two substances mix to form a solution, heat is either evolved (an exothermic process) or absorbed (an endothermic process
Is the chemical reaction for aluminum exothermic or endothermic?
Yes it is. When these two chemicals react, the container they are in becomes heated. Exothermic refers to a release of heat and energy.
How do the substances that form in a chemical reaction differ from the substances that react?
yes, they differ. because the substances that form in a chemical reaction are theproducts formed due to the reaction between of two or more reactants.
What type of reaction occurs if two substances are chemically combined and there is a release of energy?
Exothermic
What two types of energy change can occur in a chemical reation?
Two types of energy change that can occur in a chemical reaction are endothermic or exothermic. An exothermic reaction causes an increase in temperature and an endothermic reaction causes a decrease in temperature.
What is an exothemic reaction?
An exothermic process is any process that releases or loses energy to its environment.
When two or more substances are combined the temperature of the reaction will?
Combination of two or more compounds is generally an exothermic process but endothermic processes exist.
What does endothermic reaction do?
There are two types of reactions, thermally. Endothermic and exothermic. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat and an exothermic reaction releases it.
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)
An endothermic reaction causes the surroundings to?
An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat energy from the surrounding environment. Therefore, an ongoing endothermic reaction will cause its surroundings to become colder. In contrast, an exothermic reaction radiates heat energy into its surroundings, which will cause the ambient environment to get warmer.
What is the chemical formula of a exothermic reaction?
Impossible to answer. Exothermic reaction is just one of the two possible chemical reactions: either exothermic or endothermic. (No difference but heat release)
What is 2 examples or an exothermic reaction?
Burning wood is exothermic and photosynthesis is endothermic.
What is the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid is endothermic or exothermic?
Neutralisation reaction will take place. HCl + NaHCO3 ---> NaCl + H2O + CO2
What are the two types of energy change in chemical reaction?
endothermic and exothermic
Two types of chemical reactions?
Two kind of chemical reactions are exothermic and endothermic reactions. An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy. An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs energy. Hope this helps!! :)
