Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions

Mr. Anderson explains exothermic and endothermic reactions, focusing on heat transfer. Exothermic reactions release heat, while endothermic reactions absorb it. He discusses the importance of understanding systems and surroundings, and how temperature changes can be used to observe reactions. Energy diagrams are introduced to visualize energy changes, with examples like the thermite reaction and ammonium nitrate reaction. The video concludes with practical applications and encourages using energy diagrams for better understanding.
