An oxidation reaction is also known as a redox reaction. Not all redox reactions give off heat. Some redox reactions give off heat and some require heat from an outside source for the reaction to be completed.

Copper oxidation is endothermic.


Is oxidation of copper exothermic?

No, the oxidation of copper is not exothermic. It is an endothermic process, meaning it absorbs heat from its surroundings as it occurs.

What is necessary in order for a mammal to be endothermic?

Mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded) because they can create their own body heat by metabolizing food, as heat is generated by the oxidation of food molecules.


Do all oxidation reactions absorb or liberate heat?

Oxidation reactions can either absorb or liberate heat. It depends on the specific reaction and the molecules involved. Some oxidation reactions are exothermic, releasing heat, while others are endothermic, absorbing heat.


What type of reaction will absorb more energy than it releases?

Endothermic. Assuming the energy absorbed is heat. Exothermic reactions release heat, such as the oxidation of hydrogen to create water.
