Question 6 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B
An exothermic reaction releases energy to its surroundings, so its enthalpy change is negative (ΔH < 0). Energy can be written on the product side of the reaction because it is produced, and the reaction is described as releasing energy. Thus, the correct choices are “H = –,” energy as a product, and energy released.
