Exothermic reactions typically release heat, so they can feel warm to the touch. In some cases, they can produce enough heat to feel hot or even cause burns if the reaction is very exothermic.

What reaction releases energy?

exothermic reactions release energy, like a fire, which releases heat ( also endothermic reactions requires and takes/absorbs energy for its reaction like photosynthesis which requires sunlight)


Are Ombustion reactions exothermic or endothermic?

Combustion reactions are exothermic.


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.


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.


How are exothermic and exothermic reaction are different and how are they the same?

Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.


Reactions that release heat as bonds are broken are called .?

exothermic


Is freezing Endo or Exo?

Endothermic reactions absorb heat from their surroundings and feel cold, whereas exothermic reactions release heat into their surroundings and can feel warm. The sensation of freezing is typically associated with endothermic processes because they absorb heat during the reaction.


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.


What do exothermic reactions do?

An exothermic reaction releases heat


What name is given to reaction which give out heat?

Such reactions are called Exothermic reactions.


Are exothermic reactions decomposition reactions or are they synthesis reactions?

Exothermic reactions can be both decomposition reactions (breaking down a compound into simpler substances) and synthesis reactions (forming a compound from simpler substances). The key factor that determines whether a reaction is exothermic is whether it releases heat to its surroundings.


When an exothermic reaction occurs will the products be hot to the touch?

Possibly. Some exothermic reactions such as combustion can release huge amounts of energy and these can increase temperature by hundreds of degrees; however, some reactions like corrosion do not release enough to be noticeable.
