Answer:
This extra energy is given off as heat and there is a temperature rise around the surroundings of the reaction. The reactants have more energy than the end products. It also indicates that the enthalpy change is negative as heat is lost to the surroundings resulting in a temperature increase.

Answer:
- Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that generally release energy to the environment. Some of industries emit enormous amounts of heat energy , are cement producing and some agricultural manufacturing companies.
- This heat energy, which is released to the environment contributes to global warming which has more adverse effects like climate change.
Explanation:
- Chemical reactions that release energy are called exothermic reaction.
- An exothermic reaction can lead to thermal runaway when the heat produced by the reaction exceeds the heat removed.
- This surplus heat raises the temperature of the reaction mass, which causes the rate of reaction to increase.
