Question:

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

Answer:

Exothermic reaction: A reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat or light.

Eg.:  Burning of Natural gas (methane)

         CH4(g)  +  O2(g)  →  CO2(g)  +  H2O(l)  +  Heat

 

Endothermic reaction: A reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surroundings and cooling is produced.

Eg.:  Decomposition of calcium carbonate

        CaCO3(s)                  -------------→      CaO(s)           +             CO2(g)
      Calcium  Carbonate                         Calcium  oxide                Carbon dioxide
           or  Lime stone                             or quick lime
