an endothermic process requires heat in order for the reaction to proceed in the forward (usual) direction. So it involves the use of heat as energy to initiate as well as continue the reaction

What is the name given to reactions which take in heat?

An endothermal (or endothermic) process is the name of the process in which heat is taken in. In an exothermal (or exothermic) process, heat is released.


Is wood being chopped an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Chopping wood is a physical process, not a chemical reaction, so it does not produce heat or absorb heat. However, when wood burns, that is an exothermic reaction because heat is released as a result of the combustion process.


Is reactants to products endothermic?

Not always. In a chemical reaction, the process can be either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings, while exothermic reactions release heat into the surroundings. The specific reaction will determine whether it is endothermic or exothermic.


Is vaporazation a exothermic change?

No, the liquid absorb heat.


Is endothermic energy occurring when crystals dissolve in water and the container gets hot?

No.I know that in endothermic reactions things absorb heat or get colder. In exothermic reactions they release heat or get warmer. So, since the container gets hot I guess the energy is exothermic.


Are all spontaneous processes exothermic?

No, not all spontaneous processes are exothermic. Spontaneous processes can be exothermic (release heat), endothermic (absorb heat), or not involve a change in heat at all. The spontaneity of a process is determined by a combination of factors such as entropy, enthalpy, and temperature.


If it absorbs heat is it exothermic or endothermic?

If a process absorbs heat, it is endothermic. Endothermic reactions require an input of energy to proceed and absorb heat from their surroundings in order to do so.


How does an endothermic process differ from an exothermic process?

An endothermic phase change is when the substance absorbs energy from its surroundings (melting, vaporization).In an exothermic phase change the substance releases energy to its surroundings (freezing, condensation)..


Does constituents absorb or release heat upon mixing?

Constituents can absorb or release heat upon mixing, depending on the specific reaction or process involved. For example, an endothermic reaction will absorb heat and cool down the mixture, while an exothermic reaction will release heat and increase the temperature of the mixture.


Is liquid exothermic or endothermic?

Depends, Liquid can be both endothermic and exothermic, for example water, if you freeze water and put it in room temperature it will be endothermic, meaning it will absorb the heat form the room. And if you Boil water and put it in a cold place it will become exothermic because its releasing the heat.


Is silver endothermic?

Silver is not endothermic. Endothermic reactions absorb heat from their surroundings, while silver does not have a natural tendency to do so. Silver is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can transfer heat easily but does not absorb heat in an endothermic process.


Is combustion exothermic or endothermic?

exothermic reactions are the reactions which give out heat and endothermic reactions are the reaction which absorb heat.so combustion is an exothermic reaction.
