It burns slowly (reaction with oxygen at lower rate) at relatively low temperature (150oC). In a good fire place or a funeral pile temperature has risen and flames will appear, can grow to more than 10 metres high (forest fires!)

Is wood burning a exothermic reaction?

Yes, wood burning is an exothermic reaction. It releases heat and light energy to its surroundings as chemical bonds in the wood molecules are broken and new ones are formed during combustion.


Why does wood get hotter when you a fire?

Burning is an exothermic reaction.


Does wood undergo an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction?

Wood undergoes an exothermic reaction when it is burned, releasing heat and energy in the form of light and heat.


What are some of the examples of exothermic?

Burning wood in a fire is exothermic. It gives off heat to the surroundings. In fact any reaction that gives off heat to the surroundings is exothermic.


Which of the following is an example of an exothermic reaction?

does it matter? an exothermic reaction has heat as a biproduct of the product while an endothermic reaction has heat as a part of the reactants. meaning heat is released in exothermic and absorbed in endothermic


Where do burning wood and coal and fossil fuel get their heat energy from?

When you burn something, you are causing an exothermic reaction to occur. When that heat is released from the reaction, is causes more to burn, keeping the exothermic reaction going.


A reaction that gives out energy?

An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat or light. This type of reaction usually feels warm to the touch and may involve combustion or decomposition of reactants. Examples include burning wood, rusting iron, and neutralization reactions.


What kind of chemical reaction is an exothermic reaction?

Exothermic reaction: reaction with release of heat; for example burning of organic materials (oxydation of carbon) is a typical exothermic reaction.


Is burning paper a example of a exothermic reaction?

Yes, burning paper is an example of an exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light energy.


What is 2 examples or an exothermic reaction?

Combustion of fuels like wood or gasoline releases heat and light energy, making it an exothermic reaction. The reaction between sodium and chlorine to form sodium chloride (table salt) releases heat, demonstrating an exothermic process.


Is burning of LPG an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

It releases heat, therefore it is an exothermic reaction.


Is burning of wood a endothermic change?

nope. Endothermic reactions involve the reactants including heat, but ending up with colder products. But you started with wood without heat, and ended up with a hot fire. This is an exothermic reaction.
