Question

A reaction that releases heat is: endothermic exothermic none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Exothermic reaction

Explanation:

• A reaction that releases heat is known as an exothermic reaction.
• Reactions can be classified as either exothermic or endothermic depending on whether they release or absorb heat from the surrounding.
• A reaction that absorbs or gains heat from the surrounding is known as endothermic reaction.
• On the other hand, if a reaction releases heat to the surrounding is known as exothermic reaction.
• An exothermic reactions results to an increase in temperature of a solution while an endothermic reaction results to a decrease in the temperature of a solution.
