If the reaction vessel becomes hot during a chemical reaction, which type of reaction does this indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Exothermic reaction
A hot reaction vessel indicates that heat is being released from the reaction to the surroundings. A reaction that releases heat is called an exothermic reaction. In contrast, an endothermic reaction absorbs heat and generally requires energy from outside to keep the reaction going.
