Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A reaction that gives off heat to its surroundings is ____
A
exothermic
B
endothermic
C
endergonic
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.”

Detailed explanation-2: -An exothermic reaction occurs when the temperature of a system increases due to the evolution of heat. This heat is released into the surroundings, resulting in an overall negative quantity for the heat of reaction (qrxn<0).

Detailed explanation-3: -An endothermic reaction is one in which heat energy is taken in (absorbed) from its surroundings, causing the temperature of the surroundings to decrease.

Detailed explanation-4: -An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which energy is released in the form of light or heat. The energy is absorbed from the surrounding into the reaction. The energy is released from the system to its environment.
