Answer 2

Burning of match represents exothermic reaction.

• Whenever we burn something, a combustion reaction takes place in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.
• In any combustion reaction, the substance involved in combustion, burns and produces significant amount of heat energy and light.
• So, it is clear that energy is being emitted (in form of heat and light) in the combustion reaction. That's why, any combustion reaction including burning of a match, can categorised as exothermic reaction. (exothermic reaction means a reaction which releases energy)
