Chemical reactions can produce heat and energy but not all chemical reactions produce them. Exothermic reactions produce heat and energy (possibly in the form of photons/light), while endothermic reaction absorb them.

What is called the ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction?

The ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction is called combustion. It is a type of exothermic reaction where energy is released in the form of heat and light.


What chemical reaction produces a flame?

A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction that produces a flame when a fuel (such as a hydrocarbon) reacts with oxygen (from the air) to produce heat and light. This process releases energy in the form of heat and light, resulting in the flame that we see.


Combustion is an example of what to what?

Combustion is an example of a chemical reaction where a fuel reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.


Do glow sticks produce heat?

Glow sticks do not produce heat as they operate through a chemical reaction, rather than a heat-producing process like combustion. The reaction involves a chemical compound inside the stick being mixed with a separate chemical compound, which produces light without generating heat.


Examples chemiluminescent light sources?

Chemiluminescent light sources include glow sticks, fireflies, and the chemical reaction in a lightbulb. These sources produce light through a chemical reaction rather than heat or electricity.


Do most of the chemical reactions that give off light also produce heat?

Yes, most chemical reactions that give off light also produce heat. This phenomenon is known as chemiluminescence, where the energy released during the reaction is emitted as both light and heat. However, not all reactions that produce light necessarily produce heat, as some reactions can be endothermic and absorb heat instead.


Are glow sticks an example of a combustion reaction?

No, a combustion reaction is where a chemical reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide and lots of heat. Glow sticks use a a kind of reaction chemiluminescence. The reactions often involve oxygen particularly hydrogen peroxide, but they are not combustion reactions and typically produce little to no heat


What is a chemical reaction producing heat and light?

One example of a chemical reaction that produces heat and light is the combustion of hydrogen gas in air to form water. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light as the bonds between the atoms are broken and reformed.


A reaction occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?

The reaction you are describing is likely combustion, which is a type of chemical reaction where a substance combines with oxygen to produce heat and light. This process is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat and light. Combustion is a common reaction in processes like burning fuels.


Is an ability to burn physical or chemical?

It is a chemical property, as it involves a chemical change.


When a log burns in a fire, what chemical reactions take place to produce heat and light?

When a log burns in a fire, the chemical reactions that take place involve the wood combining with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. This process is known as combustion, where the wood undergoes a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light.


Is it the chemical reactions the reason light bulbs are hot to the touch?

Yes, but its more of the result of the reaction, which is heat and light. More efficient is florescent which produce more light than heat.
