If you are a meat eater, you are less likely to suffer from zinc deficiency as meats are one of the best foods rich in zinc. The meats that have the highest concentration of zinc include beef, lamb, pork, chicken and turkey. A 100 gram serving of cooked lean beef contains 12.3 mg or 82% DV of zinc.
Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, while exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings. Fuels release energy when they burn. The energy output of a fuel can be measured by calorimetry using a known mass of water.
An exothermic reaction is a chemical or physical reaction that releases heat. It gives net energy to its surroundings. That is, the energy needed to initiate the reaction is less than the energy that is subsequently released. When the medium in which the reaction is taking place gains heat, the reaction is exothermic.
