Chapter 5 ThermochemistryFigure a match head along a rough surface initiates a combustion reaction that produces energy in theform of heat and light.

For example,the energy produced by the batteries in a cell phone, car, or flashlight results from chemical reactions .
by this exothermic reaction heats and then melts the metal being cut. The sparks are tiny bits of the molten metal flying away. (b) A cold pack uses an endothermic process to create the sensation of cold. (credit a: modification of work by “Skatebiker”/Wikimedia commons)
