How should a student use the keyword "heat" to determine if a reaction is exothermic?

A student can use the keyword "heat" to determine if a reaction is exothermic by observing if heat is released during the reaction. If the reaction gives off heat, it is exothermic.


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 the type of heat reaction which occurs when heat is given off by the reaction?

Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.


What is the name given to a reaction the gives off energy?

A reaction that gives off energy is an exothermic reaction. The reaction will give off energy in the form of either heat or light An example of an exothermic reaction would be the curing of concrete. One chemical reaction that will give off heat is the mixture of Caustic Soda and water. The water dissolves the Caustic Soda which in turn generates heat. There are two types of reactions. Exothermic reactions give off heat, and endothermic reactions require that heat be added to make them work. Be careful with exothermic reactions. A rapid, energetic exothermic reaction is called an "explosion".


How is an exothermic reaction identified?

An exothermic reaction is identified by a release of heat, often resulting in a temperature increase in the surrounding environment. Other indicators include the production of light or sound, and a rise in temperature of the reacting substances.

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.
