Exothermic

Exothermic

What is it?

Exothermic reactions are
chemical reactions that produce (or give off) heat. Exothermic is the opposite of endothermic.

Give me an example!

Have you ever warmed yourself by a fireplace? The
combustion of the wood in the fireplace is an exothermic reaction because it gives off heat.
