Give an example of each endothermic and exothermic reaction in word form |
| Answer» MIC reaction- RESPIRATIONRespiration is considered as an exothermic reaction because the oxidation of GLUCOSE takes place during respiration, which produces a large amount of heat energy.This is shown in the following chemical equation:C6H12O6 + 6O2(g) ______ 6O2(g) + 6H2O(l) + heatEndothermic reaction- PHOTOSYNTHESISPhotosynthesis refers to the CONVERSION of carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose by the CHLOROPHYLL present in green plants. Here, the energy is provided by the sunlight. It is an important reaction for the life of plants.6CO2 (g) + 6H2O(l) _____sunlight_____C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2(g) | |
