So they can tell what exact species it is.
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
and when the thermal energy is can be determined by this formula:
q = M * C *ΔT
when q is the thermal energy
and M is the mass of water = 100 g
and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C
and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C
So by substitution:
∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50
= 20900 J = 20.9 KJ
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat
