D. reactants, surroundings


Sagot :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If the products have a higher energy level than the reactants then the reaction is endothermic.

In an endothermic reaction, the reaction mixture absorbs heat from the surroundings. Therefore, the products will have a higher energy than the reactants and ΔH will be positive.

In an exothermic reaction, the reaction mixture releases heat to the surroundings. Therefore, the products will have a lower energy than the reactants and ΔH will be negative.

a. the reactants to the surroundings.

That is because in an exothermic reaction, energy is being released.
