Exothermic reaction gives free heat (energy).
A reaction that gives off energy
it is exothermic b/c it gives off heat
An "exothermic" reaction gives off heat.
Exothermic.
An endothermic reaction is one that consumes heat.
A student can use the keyword "heat" to determine if a reaction is exothermic by observing if heat is released during the reaction. If the reaction gives off heat, it is exothermic.
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.
The reverse reaction is not always endothermic or exothermic, the reverse reaction is the opposite of whatever the initial reaction is, so if the reaction is endothermic, the reverse reaction is exothermic and vise versa.
This type of reaction is known as an exothermic reaction. In this process, energy is released in the form of heat to the surroundings. Example of an exothermic reaction is the combustion of fuel.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat or light. This type of reaction usually feels warm to the touch and may involve combustion or decomposition of reactants. Examples include burning wood, rusting iron, and neutralization reactions.
it gives heat off as a product
