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

Exothermic reaction gives free heat (energy).


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.


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.


Can heat add energy to the chemical reaction on a light stick?

Chemical reaction that releases energy?

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


Difference between endothermic and endergonic?

Endergonic means "absorbing energy in the form of work." Endergonic reactions are not spontaneous. An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative, indicating a spontaneous reaction.


Describe energy in an exothermic reaction?

Light and/or heat energy can both be produced.


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 .


A form of energy that can stimulate a reaction?

Heat energy can stimulate a chemical reaction.


What phrase best describes a exothermic chemical reaction?

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


Will a chemical reaction that asborbs energy happen with out a source of energy?

No, a chemical reaction that absorbs energy is called an endothermic reaction. The transfer of heat from the surrounds into the substance. In reactions, energy is always CONVERTED, not created which means that nothing can be converted i.e. heat to chemical if there is no heat or initial energy.


Do a chemical reaction produce heat and light?

Chemical reactions can produce heat and energy but not all chemical reactions produce them. Exothermic reactions produce heat and energy (possibly in the form of photons/light), while endothermic reaction absorb them.
