No. Heat is given out (liberated) in exothermic reactions not endothermic. exo = out, therm = heat. Endothermic reactions take in heat energy from the surrounding wshich cause the surrounding temperature to decrease. endo = in.

What is the opposite of exothermic?

The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.


Contrast endothermic and exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that use heat as part of the reactant. Heat is absorbed into the reaction in order for it to continue. Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat as a product of the reaction.


What are endothermic exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions are reactions that occur when heat is increased or decreased inside a subject. Exothermic is when heat is increased or decreased outside a subject.


What is the name given to reactions which take in heat?

An endothermal (or endothermic) process is the name of the process in which heat is taken in. In an exothermal (or exothermic) process, heat is released.


How are exothermic and endothermic reactions different?

Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings, causing the surroundings to increase in temperature. Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings, causing the surroundings to decrease in temperature.


Do chemical reactions need heat to start them off?

Endothermic reactions need heat.


Do all acid reactions give off heat?

Not all acid reactions give off heat. Some acid reactions are endothermic, meaning they absorb heat from the surroundings instead of releasing it. Examples of endothermic acid reactions include the reaction of citric acid with water.


If it absorbs heat is it exothermic or endothermic?

If a process absorbs heat, it is endothermic. Endothermic reactions require an input of energy to proceed and absorb heat from their surroundings in order to do so.


How do you recognize exothermic and endothermic reactions?

This question is poorly worded. As worded--No. You can DESCRIBE exothermic or endothermic reactions on graphs, however.


Differentiate exothermic from endothermic reactions?

Exothermic reactions release heat energy to the surroundings, usually in the form of light or heat, resulting in a temperature increase. In contrast, endothermic reactions absorb heat energy from the surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature as the surroundings get colder.


Is combustion exothermic or endothermic?

exothermic reactions are the reactions which give out heat and endothermic reactions are the reaction which absorb heat.so combustion is an exothermic reaction.
