Question

Statement I: An exothermic reaction has a positive $△H$ value
Because
Statement II: Heat must be added to an exothermic reaction for the reaction to occur

• A. Both the statemtents are false
• B. Statement I is false but the statement II is true
• C. Both the statements are true
• D. Statement I is true but the statement II is false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both the statemtents are false

Exothermic reaction means heat is released, so △H will be negative.

heat is released in the exothermic reaction so there is no need to add heat. therefore both the statements are false.
