What type of chemical reaction absorbs energy and requires energy for the reaction to occur?

Endothermic

Synthesis

Exothermic

Both A and C

What is enthalpy?

The reactants of the chemical reaction

Absolute amount of energy is a chemical system

Heat content

None of the above

Which of the following is not an example of exothermic processes?

Combustion of a fuel

Respiration

Nuclear fission

Photosynthesis

True or False, The thermite reaction is an examples of exothermic processes.

True

False

True or False, Work must be done in order to get these reactions to occur. When endothermic reactions absorb energy, a temperature drop is measured during the reaction. Endothermic reactions are characterized by positive heat flow (into the reaction) and an increase in enthalpy (+ΔH).

True

False
