Solution
Exothermic Reaction
The chemical reactions which proceed with the evolution of heat energy are called exothermic reactions.
Examples:
Carbon burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and heat energy is produced.
C + O2 → CO2 + Heat
Water added to quick lime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) is produced with a lot of heat energy.
CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + Heat
Endothermic Reaction
The chemical reactions which proceed with the absorption of heat energy are called as endothermic reactions.
Examples:
When nitrogen and oxygen are heated together to a particular temperature of about 3000oC, nitric oxide gas is formed.
N2 + O2 + Heat → 2NO
Calcium carbonate decomposes into carbon dioxide and calcium oxide when heated to a temperature of about 1000oC.
CaCO3 + Heat → CaO + CO2
