It releases heat, therefore it is an exothermic reaction.
It is a exothermic reaction.
Burning coal is an exothermic reaction as it give heat
Yes burning of coal is an exothermic reaction because energy is released in this process in the form of heat and light.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction with release of heat. As an example the burning reaction of methane: CH4 + 2 O2 ------→ CO2 + 2 H2O
Burning release heat, the molecular structure of methane is destroyed and the bonding energy is released.
exothermic reaction
In exothermic reactions heat is liberated. So reaction can be reactants---->products+heat
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
It releases heat, therefore it is an exothermic reaction.
