Exothermic & Endothermic Reactions: Energy Conservation 🔥 GCSE Chemistry Learning & Revision
from REVISE GCSE Chemistry - A podcast by Seneca Learning · host Seneca Learning
In this episode, we discuss energy conservation. Chemical reactions involve the transfer and conservation of energy, meaning energy is neither created nor lost. Exothermic reactions release energy into their surroundings, often causing a temperature increase, with examples like combustion and neutralization. Conversely, endothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature, as seen in thermal decomposition and the reaction between citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. Therefore, energy exchange is a fundamental aspect of all chemical transformations.Don't miss out on subscribing for more educational content tailored to help you succeed in your exams.
