Question

give reason for following: resipiration is considered as an exothermic reaction

Answer 1

HEY YOUR ANSWER IS ...........

The chemical reaction in which heat is evolved or given out is known as Exothermic Process .
Heat is represented along product side .


During digestion , food is broken down into simpler substances . Food like rice , potato and bread are made up of carbohydrates . These carbohydrates are further broken down into glucose . Glucose during respiration ( inhalation of oxygen ) is oxidised with the liberation of energy as shown below :-


C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(aq)>6CO2(aq)+6H2O(L)+energy .


Hence , Respiration is an Exothermic Reaction .
