Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following processes is exothermic?
  • Step 1: Understand what an exothermic process is. An exothermic process is one that releases heat into the surroundings.
  • Step 2: Identify the process in the question. The combustion of methane is a chemical reaction where methane (CH4) reacts with oxygen (O2).
  • Step 3: Recognize that during combustion, bonds in methane and oxygen break, and new bonds form in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
  • Step 4: Note that when these new bonds form, energy is released in the form of heat.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since the combustion of methane releases heat, it is an exothermic process.
