Question

Define exothermic reaction. Define endothermic reaction.

Answer 1

Exothermic reaction = the term exothermic process describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, electricity,

Endothermic reaction = An endothermic process is any process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system. In such a process, a closed system usually absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, which is heat transfer into the system.
