Question

Which best explains why a firework being ignited is an example of an exothermic reaction and not an endothermic reaction? The fireworks produce colors. The fireworks give off heat. Igniting the fireworks requires energy. Igniting the fireworks makes an odor.

Answer 1

Answer:

the fireworks give off heat

Explanation:

it is because the main and the most important thing about an exothermic reaction is that it gives off heat energy.

hope it helps

Answer 2

The correct option is- The fireworks give off heat.

• An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat is released when the reactant is converted into products. All combustion reactions are examples of exothermic reactions.
• An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed for the conversion of reactants to products. The melting of ice absorbs heat, hence it is an endothermic reaction.
• The ignition of fireworks releases heat into the surroundings hence, it is an exothermic reaction.
