Exothermic on the forward reaction

Endothermic on the backwards reaction

Therefore the answer is both due to the burning of Methanol being a reversible reaction :D

Is burning ethanol an effective laboratory sterilizer?

Ethanol by itself is an effective sterilizer -- no burning required. The ethanol liquid will kill any germs.

How would the yield of ethanol at equilibrium change if the temperature was increased?

If you raise the temperature, the endothermic reaction will increase to use up the extra heat, therefore producing less percentage yield of ethanol and more of ethene and steam.


Is burning a match an endothermic or exothermic change?

Burning a match is an exothermic change because energy is being released.


Is paper burning with a bright flame a exothermic reaction or endothermic reaction?

Reactions with oxygen (air) involved, like burning paper, are exothermic. Exception: formation of many nitrogen-oxygen compounds (NOx) are endothermic.


The burning of a fuel transforms which energy?

The burning of a fuel transforms chemical energy into heat and light energy.


Is an example of an endothermic process Condensation Evaporating Burning or Freezing?

An example of an endothermic process is evaporating. Evaporation requires an input of energy to convert liquid water into water vapor, so it is an endothermic process.


Is burning sugar endothermic?

No, burning sugar is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of heat and light. The chemical reaction between sugar and oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water, along with energy that is released in the form of heat and light.


What is the word equation for ethanol burning in air?

ethanol + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water (assume complete combustion) CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O *also, when a compound is burning,we chemists use the term Combustion, which refers to the exothermic reactions which occur between some fuel source and an oxidant. Thus, "Ethanol burning in air" is rather redundant :]
