How is exothermic reaction different from an endothermic reaction? (3 marks)

Answered by admin @



Difference between Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions. There are number of chemical reactions in chemistry and there are divided into many sub and main reactions. Similarly the endothermic and exothermic reactions in chemistry. These release energy in the form of sound, light, cold or heat.

In simple terms, the endothermic reactions absorbs energy from the surrounding that is in the form of heat. While, the exothermic reaction releases energy into the surrounding from the system.

A popular example of endothermic chemical reaction is photosynthesis. During this process, plants observes energy from the Sun and convert it into carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. While an example for the exothermic reaction is the table salt – it is a mixture of sodium and chlorine, which yields to table salt.
