Remember: energy is conserved in a chemical reaction (visualize the reaction and question whether heat lies on reactant side (left) or product side (right))
-exothermic- heat is released (heat is on the product side)
>forming an ionic lattice (SALT)- mixture of Na and Cl results in a more stable ionic lattice, causing this reaction to be exothermic
>burning wood
-endothermic- heat is absorbed (heat is on the reactant side)
> cooking an egg
Answer:
Conduction
Explanation:
The heat can be transferred in the substances in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
The conduction happens inside the material, usually a solid, and the heat flows as the molecules of the substance are agitated. The convection happens when there are different substances in touch, so it is the heat passage from a solid to a liquid or gas, from a gas to a liquid or vice versa. The radiation occurs between substances that are far away and the heat flows by electromagnetic waves.
Thus, in the wire, the heat flows by conduction.
