<span>In the
physical change of matter, there is no new substance that is formed. It is only
the appearance of the matter that is being changed and not its chemical
composition. Cutting, tearing and grinding are only some of the examples that
exhibit physical change. </span></span>
Nickel is a pure substance
Rust is also a pure substance
Answer : This reaction is an exothermic reaction.
Explanation :
Endothermic reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the energy is absorbed from the surrounding.
In the endothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are less than the energy of product.
Exothermic reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the energy is released into the surrounding.
In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product.
Enthalpy of reaction : It is the difference between the energy of product and the reactant. It is represented as
.
The balanced chemical reaction will be:

From the reaction we conclude that the heat energy is released during the reaction that means this reaction is an exothermic reaction.
Hence, the reaction is an exothermic reaction.
