Question

In an exothermic reaction, energy may be released to the surroundings in the form of

Answer 1

In the form of heat.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat is known as exothermic reaction.

General reaction equation for exothermic reaction is as follows.

          $Reactants \rightarrow Products + Energy$

For example, lightening a candle is an exothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that in an exothermic reaction, energy may be released to the surroundings in the form of heat.
