Question

explain how energy changes from one form to another in a exothermic reaction. in an endothermic reaction.

Answer 1

Exothermic reaction: In exothermic reaction, energy is transferred to the surroundings, and the surrounding temperature increases, this is known as exothermic reaction. In other words energy exits in exothermic reaction. Some example of exothermic reactions are:

1) Neutralisation reaction.

2) Combustion reaction.

3) Some oxidation reaction.

Endothermic reaction: In endothermic reaction, energy is taken in from the surrounding, and the surrounding temperature decreases, this is known as endothermic reaction. In other words energy enters in endothermic reaction. Some example of exothermic reactions are:

1) Thermal decomposition.

2) Reaction between citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate.
