Endothermic and Exothermic Assessment

Front

What is an endothermic reaction?

Back

An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.

Front

What is an exothermic reaction?

Back

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat to its surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature.
