Most common chemical reactions are exothermic. This means that when the reaction occurs, they release heat. Some reactions are endothermic, which means they absorb heat.

What a chemical reaction mean?

A chemical reaction is; when there is a chemical change taking place from energy or shifting of molecular structure.


A release of energy is a sign that?

A chemical change is taking place.


What is a chemical reaction that's absorbs energy called?

An Endothermic reaction. If you touch the reaction vessel it will feel cool/cold, as it is taking in heat energy. By contract an Exothermic reaction is one that gives out heat. If you touch the reaction vessel it will feel warm/hot as it is liberating heat energy.


What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?

a chemical change is taking place


What does the word chemical reaction mean?

chemical as in chemical change, so anything changed in its chemical appearance.


When methanol is burned is it a chemical change?

yes, because it is combusting and providing energy. also when something is burned that is a sign of a chemical reaction taking place


Energy is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction Explain where the energy released or absorbed by the reactions comes from or goes to?

Energy released by a chemical reaction is released as heat to the surroundings thus rising the temperature of the room or lab etc where the reaction is taking place. Similarly, energy absorbed by endothermic is either supplied by external heating of reaction mixture over a flame or absorbed from surroundings.


What chemical reaction is taking place in the green organelles in plant cells?

This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis.


How do molecules generate friction or heat?

How is heat created in a chemical reaction? you say; It is created from bonds cracking.Each bond has large energy,when it cracks, releases its energy. We know that when friction accurse there is a release of electrons. We also know that the release will cause a polarity change or change in polarity intensity. Is this change, not the same as the change taking place in the chemical reaction? Is it not polarity that bounds atoms? I THINK..... the answer is the same in both cases. change in polarity, intensity or the release of electrons. MY name is JACK D PRESNULL.

Why do changes in temperature often happen during chemical change?

This is due to changes in energy. Look at the chemical reaction A + B --> C . Say it requires a lot of energy for A and B to react together, but very little energy to keep C as C. All the energy you put into the reaction to make A and B turn into C will be released as heat once C is formed. However if it requires a lot of energy to keep C as C after the reaction happens, then the reaction will seem cold because it is taking energy in the form of heat out of its surroundings!


What is some informacion about energy?

Energy is the ability to do work. There are multiples types of energy. The two types of energy that most people are familiar with are potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy, and kinetic energy is energy in motion. A ball placed upon a shelf is an example of potential energy. A waterfall is an example of kinetic energy. Another form of energy is chemical energy which is the form of energy that is used most often. People use chemical energy everyday. Chemical energy is product of eactions that occur in chemical compounds. A chemical compound is consisted of atoms that are bound together. As the bonds between these atoms loosens or breaks, a chemical reaction will occur, and new compounds are created. Chemical energy is used adn can be observed every day. An example of chemical energy is the sun rays beaming on earth and sendind its heat to earth. This is a chemical reaction taking place that produces chemical energy in the form of heat.


Can energy be released during chemical reaction can it be absorbed can chemical reaction take place in which energy is neither absorbed or released?

The simple ANSWER IS yes!!! The reaction that does this is referred to as 'Exothermic'. Energy can be absorbed during a chemical reacton, but it needs an activation energy to start the reaction. For all chemical reactions there is always a change of energy. No reaction is ever 'energy less'. However, the exchange of energy can be very small. Example of an exothermic reaction is sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide. if you hold the beaker the two reactants are in , it will feel warm. This is an exothertmic reaction. For the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate, you have to heat it up; you are driving energy in, so it is an endothermic reaction. Other endo thermic reactions, may feel cold, they are absorbing heat at ambient room temperature.
