What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The chemical reactions which occur with the evolution of heat are called exothermic reactions.
For example, `C_((s))+O_(2(g))toCO_(2(g))+"Heat"`
`2H_(2(g))+O_(2(g))to2H_(2)O_((l))+"Heat"`
The chemical reactions which occur with the absorption of heat are called endothermic reactions.
For example, `N_(2(g))+O_(2(g))+"Heat"to2NO_((g))`
`2NH_(3(g))+"Heat"toN_(2(g))+3H_(2(g))`
