C. Energy is released by the reaction
Explanation:-
An exothermic reaction is one in which during the progress of the reaction heat is evolved.
So energy is released by the reaction.
It cannot be created as energy is neither created nor destroyed as per the Law of conservation of energy. Energy is not transferred either.
The energy released during the progress of the reaction originates from the chemical bonds of the reactants as they break during their conversion into products.
Answer:
Sodium hydroxide
Explanation:
Sodium hydroxide ( NaOH ) -
Sodium hydroxide is an inorganic compound , and is also called caustic soda and lye .
It is an ionic compound , which is white in color and is in solid state .
The cation and anion of this salt are the sodium cation Na⁺ and the hydroxide anions OH⁻ .
<u>It is highly basic in nature and is soluble in water , and when left open in air it can readily absorb moisture from the air , to form a hydrated sodium hydroxide .</u>
