Exothermic reactions are accompanied by a temperaure rise. they transfer heat to the surroundings. examples of exothermic reactions include:
- neutralising alkalis w acids
- oxidation
- combustion
- self-heating can
- handwarmers
Endothermic reactions accompanied by a fall in temperature. heat energy is transferred from the surroundings.
thermal decomposition & dissolving ammonium nitrate crystals in water are examples of endothermic reactions
