Is lightning a match of an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
It is exothermic, since it evolves heat. ^^ according to my Chemistry teacher, it's exothermic and endothermic.
Difference between endothermic and exothermic?
Endo draws heat from around it. Exo gives off heat. Example: Ice melting is a endothermic reaction. A match lighting is an exothermic reaction.An exothermic reaction releases heat to it's surroundings. The change in energy is negative. An example is combustion of natural gas.An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, so the temperature of the surroundings drops. The energy is positive. An example is melting ice cubes.
Is striking a match to a Bunsen burner a chemical reaCTION?
Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.
What does striking the match produce heat?
it sparks
If you strike a safety match across an untreated striking surface will it light?
The striking surface must contain red phosphorus.
Is striking a match exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic because the fire or spark created by striking the match is releasing energy
What is striking a match an example of?
Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.

Is burning a match an endothermic or exothermic change?
Burning a match is an exothermic change because energy is being released.
What is striking an match example of?
Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.
Is a match is lit and Burns endothermic or exothermic reaction?
yes burning a match is an examle of very fast reaction
