Question

Is polymerization endothermic or exothermic?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Endothermic reaction: The heat required to complete a reaction is called an endothermic reaction.
2. Exothermic reaction: The heat released during the completion of the reaction is called an exothermic reaction.
3. The reaction in which monomers are combined to form a polymer is called a polymerization reaction.
4. As the monomers are combined some amount of energy is released so it is an exothermic reaction.

Hence, polymerization is an exothermic reaction.
