Energy Transfer in Reactions
- Exothermic Reaction
- an EXOTHERMIC REACTION is one which
TRANSFERS ENERGY to the surroundings,
usually in the form of HEAT and usually shown
by a RISE IN TEMPERATURE
- an example of an exothermic
reaction is hand warmers, they use
the oxidation of iron in air to generate heat
- Endothermic Reaction
- an ENDOTHERMIC REACTION is one which
TAKES IN ENERGY from the surroundings
usually in the form of HEAT and is usually shown
by a FALL IN TEMPERATURE
- an example of an endothermic
reaction in everyday life is sports injury
packs, they take in heat and the pack
becomes very cold
- Reversible Reactions can be
both exothermic and endothermic
- if the reaction is endothermic in
one direction, it will be exothermic
in the other
