During an exothermic reaction:
Heat is evolved
There is no heat transfer
Heat is absorbed
Heat can either be absorbed or evolved
Heat is evolved during an exothermic reaction.
In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, and system loses heat to the surrounding. For such system (a) qp will be negative (b) ΔrH will be negative (c) qp will be positive (d) ΔrH will be positive
