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

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.

It depends on whether or not the chemical reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If exothermic, then yes, energy is released. If endothermic, then no, energy is absorbed, not released.


What two types of energy change can occur in a chemical reation?

Two types of energy change that can occur in a chemical reaction are endothermic or exothermic. An exothermic reaction causes an increase in temperature and an endothermic reaction causes a decrease in temperature.


What is the definition of endothermic change?

Endothermic describes a chemical reaction that is accompanied by the absorption of heat, or an organism that generates heat to maintain its temperature. (adjective)
