The body releases energy by respiring (respiration) Respiration is the chemical reaction of which your body makes energy from the food in our cells in our body

There are two types of respiration;

Aerobic Respiration - This type releases energy from food

The equation for this is - Glucose + Oxygen -----> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ENERGY

Anaerobic respiration - also releases energy from food, But this produces Lactic acid and energy instead

The equation for this is - Glucose --------> Lactic Acid + Energy

What is exo thermical reaction?

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. The energy released during the reaction increases the temperature of the surroundings. This type of reaction commonly involves the formation of bonds which releases more energy than is required to break the existing bonds.


Is it true when a reaction is at a equilibruim increasing the temperature favors the reaction that releases energy as heat?

No that is false. Increasing temperature favors the reaction that absorbs energy, not that releases energy as heat.


Is energy absorbed or released during a decomposition reaction?

Energy is often absorbed during a decomposition reaction because the reactant breaks down into smaller molecules or atoms. This process typically requires energy input to break the existing chemical bonds.


What is a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat?
