Is burning octane exothermic or endothermic?

Burning octane is an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat and light as it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.


Is burning gasoline an exothermic process or an endothermic process?

Solid to gas (sublimation) is endothermic (takes in heat).In other words:A phase change from the solid state to the gas state is endothermic.Sublimation is endothermic (takes in energy).Heat energy must be provided to make it work.When there is a change of state from a solid to a liquid, a solid to a gas, or a liquid to a gas, at a constant temperature, the process is endothermic NOT exothermic. It requires energy to break the intermolecular forces that keep the molecules together, and that reduces the temperature - heat is taken in.


When oil is burned is it endothermic?

Fire creates an exothermic reaction, not endothermic. To be endothermic, the reaction must draw in heat from its surroundings, thereby making things colder.


Is the combustion of aluminum powder exothermic or endothermic?

i am pretty sure that it is endothermic because heat it not produced... but I'm not a 100 percent sure so don't quote me on that! k thanx bye! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NEW USER You are obviously not very sure upon what endothermic and exothermic means. Obviously, heat was produced in LARGE QUANTITIES in the Hindenburg since COMBUSTION produces heat. So, of course it is exothermic.


Is the chemical reaction for aluminum exothermic or endothermic?

Yes it is. When these two chemicals react, the container they are in becomes heated. Exothermic refers to a release of heat and energy.

Is burning a match an endothermic or exothermic change?

Burning a match is an exothermic change because energy is being released.


Is paper burning with a bright flame a exothermic reaction or endothermic reaction?

Reactions with oxygen (air) involved, like burning paper, are exothermic. Exception: formation of many nitrogen-oxygen compounds (NOx) are endothermic.


The burning of a fuel transforms which energy?

The burning of a fuel transforms chemical energy into heat and light energy.


Is an example of an endothermic process Condensation Evaporating Burning or Freezing?

An example of an endothermic process is evaporating. Evaporation requires an input of energy to convert liquid water into water vapor, so it is an endothermic process.


Is burning sugar endothermic?

No, burning sugar is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of heat and light. The chemical reaction between sugar and oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water, along with energy that is released in the form of heat and light.


Is burning aluminum foil toxic?

Burning aluminum foil can release harmful fumes and chemicals, such as aluminum oxide and other compounds, which can be toxic if inhaled in large amounts. It is not recommended to burn aluminum foil as a means of disposal.


Is burning 2-propanol endothermic?

Any time you burn something, it's exothermic.


Is paper burning with bright flames exothermic or endothermic?

Exothermic, for within an endothermic (situation) there would be a drop of temperature *excuse my spelling if you would* , therefore to continue burning it will need to absorb the heat, where as exothermic reactions energy will be released as heat.
