Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature of the reaction mixture rises as energy is released in an exothermic process. The temperature drops when energy is absorbed in an endothermic reaction. Placing a thermometer in the reaction mixture will allow you to track temperature changes.
