In an exothermic chemical reaction, the reactants compared to the products have__________________?
Correct answer: B. More energy
- A. Higher temperature
- B. More energy
- C. Less energy
- D. Same energy
Explanation
An exothermic reaction releases energy, so the products lie at a lower energy level than the reactants. Therefore, the reactants have more energy than the products, not necessarily a higher temperature.
