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.

Is a reaction that gets hot exothermic or endothermic?

A reaction that gets hot is exothermic because it releases heat to the surroundings. This means that the products have less energy than the reactants, resulting in a negative change in enthalpy.


How would you know if a reaction was endothermic or exothermic?

An endothermic reaction is one in which thermal energy, or heat, is absorbed. If heat is absorbed in the reaction process, it is endothermic. By monitoring the temperature of the reactants in a reaction, an observer could identify an endothermic reaction through observation of a decrease in the temperature.


Explain which type of reaction exothermic or endothermic would be required to make a cold and a cold pack or hot pack?

You would have to have an Eacthomatdid reaction of chemcal chance to change a cold pack to a hot pack.


Is endothermic energy occurring when crystals dissolve in water and the container gets hot?

No.I know that in endothermic reactions things absorb heat or get colder. In exothermic reactions they release heat or get warmer. So, since the container gets hot I guess the energy is 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!! :)


Is sparkler burning endothermic or exothermic?

Endothermic reactions take in heat from the surroundings (and make it cooler), exothermic reactions give out heat to the surroundings making it hotter. Get too close to a sparkler and you'll find it is very hot! This is because it is an exothermic reaction.


Is the sand on a beach gets hot from the sun endothermic or exothermic process?

Endothermic. The sand is absorbing heat. If it was radiating heat, that would be exothermic.


What happens to the reaction during endothermic and exothermic reaction?

During an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the reaction to feel cold. The reactants have less energy than the products, so energy is absorbed to form the products. In an exothermic reaction, heat is released into the surroundings, making the reaction feel hot. The reactants have more energy than the products, so energy is released during the reaction.


Does endothermic or exothermic get colder?

Yeah, endothermic means that the heat is basically sucked out of it... or released while in an exothermic reaction, the heat is gathered or taken in. Take for example hot gas in a glass container: if it is cooled down of placed into a tub of ice, the gas will condense and the gas forms into droplets of liquid on the sides of the container and then drops to the bottom once there's enough of it.


Contrast endothermic and exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that use heat as part of the reactant. Heat is absorbed into the reaction in order for it to continue. Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat as a product of the reaction.


What is a chemical reaction that's absorbs energy called?

An Endothermic reaction. If you touch the reaction vessel it will feel cool/cold, as it is taking in heat energy. By contract an Exothermic reaction is one that gives out heat. If you touch the reaction vessel it will feel warm/hot as it is liberating heat energy.


What type of reaction gives off heat Does it feel hot or cold?

Endothermic reactions increase their enthalpy by absorbing heat
