From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The environmental impacts of irrigation relate to the changes in quantity and quality of soil and water as a result of irrigation and the effects on natural and social conditions in river basins and downstream of an irrigation scheme.
Combustion reactions can only be exothermic. In chemical reactions, old bonds are broken to form new ones. Depending on the energy difference between broken and formed bonds, the total reaction energy is either positive or negative.
When endothermic reactions absorb energy, a temperature drop is measured during the reaction. Endothermic reactions are characterized by positive heat flow (into the reaction) and an increase in enthalpy (+ÎH). Examples of Endothermic and Exothermic Processes. Photosynthesis is an example of an endothermic chemical reaction.
