Any chemical reaction that releases energy is called an exothermic action. The equations for an exothermic reaction between substance A and substance B would be: A + B --> AB + Heat The heat represents the energy and we can tell it is being released because it is on the product side of the equation. The reverse reaction would be endothermic, meaning it requires energy, heat would be on the reactant side and the equation would be: AB + Heat --> A + B To sum things up, an exothermic reaction releases energy and heat will be on the product side of the equation. An endothermic reaction requires energy and heat will be on the reactant side of the equation.
Exothermic reactions
Any chemical reaction that produces energy is exothermic. A erection that requires energy is endothermic. For instance, NaCl + H20 -> HCl + NaOH is endothermic. Run the equation the opposite direction, HCl _+ NaOH -> NaCl + H20 and it's an exothermic reaction.
The energy release of an exothermic reaction is released to the surroundings.
Endothermic Reaction. Exothermic is a chemical reaction in which energy must be provided.

... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
A reaction that releases energy is exothermic.
An exothermic reaction releases energy to its surroundings.
This equation is exothermic. The energy is written in positive numerals on the right hand side. This means that energy has been released. Moreover, this is a combustion reaction.
Exothermic refers to a reaction that produces heat. When you balance the equation the energy released when new bonds are formed is greater than the energy use when bonds are broken. An endothermic reaction takes in heat as it requires more energy to break its bonds than it has from the bonds it creates.
In exothermic reactions heat is liberated. So reaction can be reactants---->products+heat
Exothermic reactions
exothermic reaction releases energy and endergonic reaction absorbs energy
This reaction is exothermic because there is a net RELEASE energy.
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
The energy release of an exothermic reaction is released to the surroundings.
