Q
what is and endothermic reaction?
A
An endothermic reaction is a chemical process that absorbs energy from its surroundings, typically in the form of heat. This absorption of energy causes the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become cooler.
2
Q
what is an exothermic
A
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy, typically in the form of heat, into its surroundings. This energy release is often accompanied by an increase in the temperature of the surroundings. Examples of exothermic reactions include combustion (burning fuel), neutralization reactions, and oxidation reactions.
