Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about exothermic reactions? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what an exothermic reaction is. It is a type of chemical reaction that releases heat.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when heat is released, the temperature of the surroundings increases.
  • Step 3: Learn about enthalpy change, which is a measure of heat content in a system.
  • Step 4: In exothermic reactions, the enthalpy change is negative because the system loses heat to the surroundings.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the statement 'Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings, resulting in a negative enthalpy change' is true.
