Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions: Energy in Chemical Reactions

In every chemical reaction, energy is absorbed or released, affecting the surrounding temperature. Exothermic reactions release heat, making the surroundings warmer, while endothermic reactions absorb heat, cooling the environment. The reaction type depends on whether energy is released or absorbed during bond formation and breaking. This process is seen in everyday phenomena like combustion, photosynthesis, …

Chemical Kinetics: What Are Reaction Rates, Catalysts, and Collision Theory

Chemical kinetics focuses on the speed, or rate, at which chemical reactions occur. Unlike thermodynamics, which explains whether a reaction can happen, chemical kinetics examines how fast it happens. By studying chemical kinetics, you can identify the factors that influence reaction rates and learn how to control these rates for applications in industries, biology, and …
