A substance that undergoes change during a reaction, usually from coming in contact with another substance
Answer: The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state. Materials are a store of internal energy , due to the motion of particles and the chemical bonds between them. When a substance is heated, its internal energy increases: the movement of its particles increases.
Explanation:
Given reactions:
(A) 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + sunlight → C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)
(B) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + energy
Exothermic reactions are those which proceed with the release of heat/energy. In contrast, endothermic reactions proceed with the absorption of energy in the form of heat or light.
Since reaction A required sunlight, it is endothermic. Reaction B releases energy, hence exothermic
Ans: (B)
A is endothermic
B is exothermic
