Reactions in which heat is given out along with the products are called exothermic reactions.

Exothermic Reactions | Class 10 CBSE Science
🔥 Exothermic Reactions
उष्माक्षेपी अभिक्रियाएँ — Class 10 CBSE Science
1️⃣ Description / परिभाषा

English

Reactions in which heat is given out along with the products are called exothermic reactions.
Reactants → Products + Heat

हिन्दी

वे रासायनिक अभिक्रियाएँ जिनमें products के साथ ऊष्मा (Heat) बाहर निकलती है, उष्माक्षेपी अभिक्रियाएँ कहलाती हैं।
अभिकारक → उत्पाद + ऊष्मा
🔥 Key Point / मुख्य बात

Exothermic = Heat is released
Exothermic = ऊष्मा बाहर निकलती है।

इसलिए reaction के बाद surroundings का temperature अक्सर बढ़ जाता है।
2️⃣ Attractive Animation / Animation द्वारा समझें
Reactants → Products + Heat
अभिकारक → उत्पाद + ऊष्मा
Reactants
अभिकारक
Products
उत्पाद
🔥
HEAT RELEASED / ऊष्मा बाहर निकली
3️⃣ Basic Concept / मूल अवधारणा

Example 1 — Combustion of Methane

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat
Methane burns in oxygen and releases heat.

मीथेन ऑक्सीजन में जलकर CO₂ और H₂O बनाती है तथा ऊष्मा बाहर निकलती है।

Example 2 — Respiration

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy
Respiration releases energy from glucose.

श्वसन में glucose का oxidation होकर energy निकलती है।

Example 3 — Burning of Coal

C + O₂ → CO₂ + Heat
Coal/carbon burns in oxygen and releases heat.
4️⃣ Characteristics / विशेषताएँ
1. Heat is released.
ऊष्मा बाहर निकलती है।
2. Surroundings may become warmer.
आसपास का तापमान बढ़ सकता है।
3. Combustion reactions are generally exothermic.
दहन अभिक्रियाएँ सामान्यतः उष्माक्षेपी होती हैं।
4. Respiration is an exothermic process.
श्वसन एक उष्माक्षेपी प्रक्रिया है।
5. Heat appears on the product side.
Equation में heat product side पर लिखी जा सकती है।
Reactants → Products + Heat
5️⃣ Important Examples / महत्वपूर्ण उदाहरण
Reaction Why Exothermic?
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat Heat released
C + O₂ → CO₂ + Heat Heat released
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy Energy released
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + Heat Heat released
6️⃣ Fully Solved Example / पूर्ण हल
Question: Why is combustion of methane an exothermic reaction?
CBSE
Step 1: Methane reacts with oxygen.

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat
Step 2: Heat is released during the reaction.

Step 3: Since heat is given out along with products, the reaction is called exothermic.

Answer: Methane combustion is an exothermic reaction because heat energy is released during the reaction.

हिन्दी: मीथेन के ऑक्सीजन में दहन के दौरान ऊष्मा बाहर निकलती है, इसलिए यह उष्माक्षेपी अभिक्रिया है।

Reactants → Products + Heat
🔥 Exothermic = Heat Released

उष्माक्षेपी = ऊष्मा का बाहर निकलना

Examples:
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat

C + O₂ → CO₂ + Heat

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + Heat
CBSE Shortcut:

Heat on product side ↓ 🔥 Exothermic Reaction

Products + Heat ↓ उष्माक्षेपी अभिक्रिया
🏆 Final Concept
🔥 EXOTHERMIC REACTION

REACTANTS ↓ CHEMICAL REACTION ↓ PRODUCTS + HEAT

अभिकारक → उत्पाद + ऊष्मा

ऊष्मा बाहर निकले = EXOTHERMIC
