What term is used 4 the type of chemical reaction that gives out heat energy?

Exothermic reaction gives free heat (energy).


A chemical reaction that gives off heat is most likely to be what?

An endothermic reaction is one that consumes heat.


When a chemical reaction takes in more energy than it gives off it becomes what?

When a chemical reaction takes in more energy than it gives off, it becomes an endothermic reaction. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings in the form of heat.


What is an exothermic reaction?

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that is done by the release of heat. It gives out energy to its surroundings. The energy needed for the reaction to occur is less than the total energy released.


Is it true that Every chemical reaction gives off energy?

yes it does <><><> No- some reactions ABSORB energy. In terms of heat energy, some are exothermic, and some are endothermic.


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.


Is heat energy always released in a chemical reaction?

No. One example of a chemical reaction which releases something other than heat is gamma radiation, which gives off massless light particles (as hard as that is to believe). In addition, all endothermic reactions actually consume heat energy.


Chemical reaction that releases energy?

All chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat are called exothermic reactions.


During photosynthesis what chemical reaction gives off heat?

During photosynthesis, no chemical reaction gives off heat. Photosynthesis is an endothermic process, meaning it requires energy in the form of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


What is the relationship between the heat of reaction and a chemical reaction?

The heat of reaction is the amount of heat energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. It is a measure of the reaction's energy change. The relationship between the heat of reaction and a chemical reaction is that the heat of reaction indicates whether a reaction is exothermic (releases heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat). This information helps us understand the energy changes that occur during the reaction.


What is the difference an exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction?

Exothermic (hyperthermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that releases energy,*Endothermic (hypothermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that absorbs energy.** Energy = heat, light, etc.The direction of Heat transfer:Exothermic reactions transfer heat energy to the environment.Endothermic reactions transfer heat energy from the environment .


What phrase best describes a exothermic chemical reaction?

A chemical change that gives off heat. Burning paper would be an example.
