It burns slowly (reaction with oxygen at lower rate) at relatively low temperature (150oC). In a good fire place or a funeral pile temperature has risen and flames will appear, can grow to more than 10 metres high (forest fires!)
Burning of wood breaks a huge amount of bonds in those molecules and form simple molecules are carbon dioxide and water. The result is emission of heat.
because it can!!!
oxygen
Like all burning reactions (with oxygen that is) burning wood is also exothermic.
how chemical energy produce in firewood useful
an exothermic reaction
The reaction releases heat and light to its surroundings, so it is exothermic.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction with release of heat. As an example the burning reaction of methane: CH4 + 2 O2 ------→ CO2 + 2 H2O

Like all burning reactions (with oxygen that is) burning wood is also exothermic.
Burning is an exothermic reaction.

Burning wood in a fire is exothermic. It gives off heat to the surroundings. In fact any reaction that gives off heat to the surroundings is exothermic.
Burning wood is exothermic and photosynthesis is endothermic.
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
When you burn something, you are causing an exothermic reaction to occur. When that heat is released from the reaction, is causes more to burn, keeping the exothermic reaction going.
It releases heat, therefore it is an exothermic reaction.
Exothermic reaction: reaction with release of heat; for example burning of organic materials (oxydation of carbon) is a typical exothermic reaction.
It is a exothermic reaction.
Burning coal is an exothermic reaction as it give heat
