A system that releases heat to the surroundings, an exothermic reaction, has a negative ΔH by convention, because the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reactants of the system. The enthalpies of these reactions are less than zero, and are therefore exothermic reactions
Answer: obey the "law of conservation of mass".

Answer:
B. exothermic; leaving
Explanation:
The exothermic process releases heat, which causes the surrounding area to increase in temperature.
Your hand is releasing heat and makes the temperature of the ice cube increase, to where it melts.
Its known as covalently bonded atoms
