heat will be absorbed and the products will be formed faster exothermic reaction will undergo spontaneously as it does not require any energy while endothermic reaction has to be supplied with energy to happen therefore exothermic reaction will be faster than endothermic reaction
Exothermic and endothermic reactions both cause some type of energy level differences. In an exothermic reaction, energy is released in the form of heat. As chemical bonds are formed, energy is released. An example is water turning into ice. Chemical bonds form and release energy to create ice crystals. An endothermic reaction, however, is the opposite. Here, the energy is absorbed in the form of heat. When a chemical bond is broken, the energy used creates an endothermic reaction. Changing ice into water, then vapor, requires the chemical bonds to be broken.
