  1. Releases heat
  2. ΔH is negative
  3. Temperature of the surroundings increases
  4. Absorbs energy from the surroundings

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of an exothermic reaction? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what an exothermic reaction is. It is a type of chemical reaction that releases heat.
  • Step 2: Know that exothermic reactions have a negative ΔH, which means they lose energy.
  • Step 3: Remember that exothermic reactions cause the temperature of the surroundings to increase.
  • Step 4: Identify that exothermic reactions do not absorb energy; they release it instead.
  • Step 5: Look for the option that contradicts these characteristics to find the answer to the question.
