Question

Describe endothermic vs. exothermic reactions in terms of product formation. (hint: what happens when products are formed?)

Answer 1

Answer:

Endothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B + Heat (energy) ⇒ Products

Exothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B ⇒ Products + Heat (energy)

Explanation:

Endothermic Reaction

An endothermic reaction is a reaction that reaction that requires heat before it would take place resulting in the absorption of heat from the surrounding that can be sensed by the coolness of the reacting system

An example of an endothermic reaction is a chemical cold pack that becomes cold when the chemical and water inside it reacts

Exothermic Reaction

An exothermic reaction is one that rekeases energy to the surroundings when it takes place. This is as a result of the fact that the combined heat energy of the reactants is more than the chemical heat energy of the products. An example of an exothermic reaction is a burning candle
