Summary: Different types of chemical reactions are used to produce a range of products and can occur at different rates and involve energy transfer.
Energy Transfer
“identify that chemical reactions involve energy transfer and can be exothermic or endothermic”
“compare combustion and respiration as types of chemical reactions that release energy but occur at different rates”
