An endothermic reaction is one that requires energy to take place (e.g. light or heat energy); breaking bonds in a molecule is always endothermic; and energy is a reactant.

Some examples of endothermic reactions are as follows:

  • citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.
  • ammonium chloride and water
  • a chemical cold pack used in first aid kits
  • photosynthesis
  • bioluminescence by a firefly

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed for the reaction to take place. Eg:- When lead nitrate is heated, it decomposes to lead oxide,nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.

2Pb(NO3)2 +Heat ---->2PbO2 +2NO2 +2O2

Any reactions which gives heat to the surroundings are considered to be endothermic reactions. For example, the reaction between an acid and a base is endothermic.

What is the chemical change and kindly give a example or picture?

Chemical change is a process in which reactants are changed to form one or more than one products. During a chemical change there is rearrangement of atoms i.e, breaking and formation of new bonds.This change is not reversible. For Example: # burning of wood # change in temperature or energy,as in exothermic or endothermic reactions. # formation of precipitate in a reaction.

Is burn a physical change?

It's an exothermic reaction (oppose to an endothermic reaction). It's combustible reaction, (this is an example of chemical reaction) where a substance must combine with oxygen to produce, heat and light; or Burn.
