Question

An egg cooking on a campfire is an example of

A. only an exothermic reaction.
B. only an endothermic reaction.
C. an endothermic and an exothermic reaction.
D. neither an exothermic nor an endothermic reaction.

Answer 1

B. only an endothermic reaction

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (B) only an endothermic reaction.

Explanation :

Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which the energy is absorbed from the surrounding.

Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which the energy is released into the surrounding.

From the this we conclude that, the energy is added or absorbed during the egg cooking on a campfire. That means, it is an endothermic process.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) only an endothermic reaction.
