Asked in PMC Practice Test 8 (2021) 2021

ΔH for an exothermic reaction is _?

Correct answer: C. Negative

  • A. More than 1
  • B. Positive
  • C. Negative
  • D. Neutral

Explanation

Exothermic reaction is a reaction in which net energy is released in a reaction. i.e, ΔH=(energy of products) -( energy of reactants)<0.i.e. negative

About Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

Exothermic reactions release heat to the surroundings and have negative enthalpy change, while endothermic reactions absorb heat and have positive enthalpy change. The topic uses energy profiles to identify reactants, products and activation energy, and includes bond energy, enthalpy diagrams, calorimetry and Hess's law for calculating overall heat changes.
