Burning is an exothermic reaction, but to get gas, or wood, or coal to burn you must start by using some energy to get the reaction started. After it starts it will produce enough energy to keep the reaction going and to release excess energy.
This energy put in to start the process is called the activation energy.
What else can I help you with?
In an exothermic reaction is the energy of the products higher or lower than that of the reactants?
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
What happens during an exothermic reaction?
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.
How can you determine whether or not a chemical reaction is exothermic?
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.
Does energy decrease or increase during a chemical reaction?
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.
Is energy consumed at any time during an exothermic reaction?
Yes, during the time it absorbs energy to break bonds.
Energy is taken in during an?
During an exothermic reaction.
Is energy created during an exothermic reaction why?
NO
A reaction that releases energy as it occurs is classified as?
A reaction that releases energy is exothermic.
Why is energy is not created during an exothermic reaction?
Energy is only transformed from one form to another. In exothermic reaction the energy within the bonds is transformed into energy released as heat
In an exothermic reaction is the energy of the products higher or lower than that of the reactants?
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.

What is a reaction that releases energy into its surroundings?
An exothermic reaction releases energy to its surroundings.

In an exothermic reaction, energy is released in the form of heat, and in an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
When energy is released during a reaction it is considered what type of reaction?
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.
