Problem
Burning charcoal to cook food on a grill is an example of an exothermic reaction.
Complete the statements.
- Exothermic reactions result in an overallof energy by a system.
- This means that the energy released as the product bonds form isthe energy required to break the bonds in the reactants.
- As a result of this energy change, exothermic reactions cause the temperature of their surroundings to.
