Question

Analyze. This reaction releases energy as heat. Explain whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic and whether it obeys the laws of Conservation or energy

Answer 1

The reaction is exothermic.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If heat is given out in a reaction, then that reaction is exothermic. If heat is absorbed in a reaction, then that reaction is endothermic.

Hence, if heat is given out, the reaction is exothermic. The heat given out does work on the surrounding thus the laws of conservation of energy are obeyed.
