Endothermic reaction
 Energy flow
 Chemical reaction that absorbs energy from
surrounding
 Energy content in the reaction
 Lowerthan the energy content in the reacting
substances
 Energylevel in diagrammatic form
 Examples
 Dissolving
ammonium chloride in water
 Decomposition of copper (II) carbonate when
heated
Exothermic reaction
 Energy flow
 Chemical reaction that produces energy into
surrounding
 Energy content in the reaction
 Higher
than the energy content in the reacting
substances
 Energylevel in diagrammatic form
 Examples
 Freezing of water into ice
 Boiling of water into air

 Dissolving Sodium Chloride Crystals in water
