During a chemical reaction, where does the heat evolved come from? Where does the heat absorbed go?
I'm curious about chemical reactions. Can you tell me where the heat evolved in a chemical reaction comes from and where the heat absorbed goes?
Certainly! The heat evolved in a chemical reaction typically comes from the breaking of chemical bonds in the reactant molecules. Conversely, the heat absorbed in a reaction typically goes towards forming bonds between the atoms or molecules that make up the product.
