1) Energy transfer during exothermic and endothermic

Cards (9)

  • When chemical reactions occur, energy is transferred from the chemicals to or from the surroundings.
  • Therefore, many reactions are accompanied by a temperature change.
  • Exothermic reactions are accompanied by a temperature rise
  • They transfer heat energy from the chemicals to the surroundings, i.e. they give out heat energy.
  • Exothermic reactions are used in products like self-heating cans (for coffee) and hand warmers
  • .Endothermic reactions are accompanied by a fall in temperature. 
  • Some sports injury packs use endothermic reactions.
  • If a reverelible reaction is exothermic in one direction, then it is endothermic in the opposite direction. .The same amount of energy is transferred in each case.
  • Exothermic reactions are accompanied by a temperature rise. Endothermic reactions are accompanied by a fall in temperature.
