Energy is only transformed from one form to another. In exothermic reaction the energy within the bonds is transformed into energy released as heat
NO
During an exothermic reaction.
Mass and energy can never be created or destroyed, but can change forms. An exothermic reaction releases stored chemical energy and transforms it into heat, but the total amount of energy does not change.
A reaction that releases energy is exothermic.
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
Exothermic reactions
Exothermic reaction is a reaction which gives out heat. For example: when natural gas burns it release its energy to the surroundings which could be the water in a central heating system. this is a EXOTHERMIC REACTION between natural gas and oxygen.
An exothermic reaction releases energy to its surroundings.
You can determine if a chemical reaction is exothermic by measuring the temperature change of the surroundings. If the temperature increases during the reaction, then it is exothermic. Additionally, you can look for the release of heat or light during the reaction as indicators of an exothermic process.
When energy is released during a reaction, it is considered an exothermic reaction. This means that the reaction is giving off heat to the surroundings.
Energy can either decrease or increase during a chemical reaction depending on whether it is an exothermic reaction (energy is released) or an endothermic reaction (energy is absorbed). In an exothermic reaction, energy is released in the form of heat, and in an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
Energy is released in an exothermic reaction because the overall energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants. This difference in energy levels is released as heat to the surroundings, making the reaction exothermic.
