Question

Which of the following statements is not true for an exothermic reaction? Question options: The products have a higher heat content than the reactants. The temperature of the reaction system increases. The temperature of the surroundings increases. Heat passes from the reaction system to the surroundings. The enthalpy change for the reaction is negativ

Answer 1

Answer:

The products have a higher heat content than the reactants.
