Question

What will happen to the beaker in which the exothermic reaction is carried out?

Answer 1

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat is liberated when the reactants combine to form new products.
2. Temperature increases when an exothermic reaction is carried out in a beaker so the beaker becomes hot.
3. An exothermic process discharges heat, resulting in the temperature of the immediate surroundings increasing.

Hence, the beaker becomes hot or even explodes in severe cases.
