What name is given to all chemical reactions which releases heat energy?

Exothermic reactions produce heat. Endothermic reactions take in heat from the surrounding area and get cold.


Is heat liberated in endothermic reactions?

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 energy helps chemical reactions to form?

Heat helps chemical reactions to take place. Light can also cause some chemical reactions to take place.


What are the exothermic and endothermic reactions and how can they be used?

exothermic reactions are those that give out energy (most notably by heat) when they occur endothermic reactions require energy to take place and thus feel cold to touch as they extract heat from the surrounding environment.


Do chemical reactions transfer energy?

Yes, chemical reactions can transfer energy in the form of heat or light. Exothermic reactions release energy in the form of heat, while endothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings.


What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction?

Exothermic (hyperthermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that releases energy,*Endothermic (hypothermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that absorbs energy.** Energy = heat, light, etc.The direction of Heat transfer:Exothermic reactions transfer heat energy to the environment.Endothermic reactions transfer heat energy from the environment .


What do the nuclear reactions that take place in the sun produce?

Helium plus released energy (heat)


What kind of change requires energy to absorbed in order to take place?

Endothermic reactions require energy to be absorbed in order to take place. This means that the reactions absorb heat from their surroundings in order to proceed.


What reaction gives out energy?

If by energy you mean heat energy exothermic reactions.


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 do chemical changes always take in or give off?

Some reactions give off heat (exothermic), others absorb heat (endothermic). All reactions increase entropy.


Does your body use chemical energy to generate thermal energy?

yes. the reactions that take place in our body, such as respiration, generate heat
