Question

The energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants in the exothermic reaction

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

A. True first one right

Answer 2

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

In an exothermic reaction, the average enthalpy change is a negative value ( loss in energy ).

since enthalpy change of reaction is given by:

`{ \boxed{ \triangle H = \triangle(products) - \triangle(reactants)}} \\`

❎ when enthalpy energy of products is higher than that of reactants, ∆H will be positive ( endothermic reaction ).

✔ When enthalpy energy of products is lower than that of reactants, ∆H will be negative ( exothermic reaction ).
