Question

This reaction releases energy as heat. Explain whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic and whether it obeys the law of conservation of energy

Answer 1

Exothermic, it obeys the law of conservation of energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction is an exothermic change. In this kind of change, heat is liberated to the surrounding. So the surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the heat change.

In chemical reactions that involves the loss of energy as heat, they obey the law of conservation of energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another. In such reactions as this, chemical energy is transformed into heat energy.
