Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions-Levings

Front

What are endothermic processes?

Back

Endothermic processes are chemical reactions that absorb heat from their surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.

Front

What are exothermic processes?

Back

Exothermic processes are chemical reactions that release heat into their surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature.

Front

Give an example of an endothermic process.

Back

Baking bread and cooking an egg are examples of endothermic processes.

Front

How do endothermic reactions feel to the touch?

Back

Endothermic reactions feel cold because they absorb heat from the surroundings.

Front

What happens to the temperature of the surroundings during an exothermic reaction?

Back

The temperature of the surroundings increases during an exothermic reaction.

Front

In an endothermic reaction, what happens to heat?

Back

In an endothermic reaction, heat is taken in from the surroundings.

Front

What is cell respiration classified as, endothermic or exothermic?

Back

Cell respiration is classified as an exothermic reaction.

Front

What is the main difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions?

Back

The main difference is that endothermic reactions absorb heat, while exothermic reactions release heat.

Front

What is an example of an exothermic reaction?

Back

Combustion of fuels, such as burning wood or gasoline, is an example of an exothermic reaction.

Front

What is the role of heat in endothermic reactions?

Back

Heat is a reactant in endothermic reactions, meaning it is required for the reaction to occur.
