Question

Write T for true and F for false statements.

Boiling is an exothermic change.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Exothermic changes:

1. When a chemical change takes place with the release of energy, it is said to be an exothermic reaction.
2. Energy can be released in the form of light or heat.
3. Examples of exothermic change: burning of woods, Combustion, and freezing of water.

• The boiling of water or any liquid is an endothermic change as one needs to supply heat to boil water or any liquid.
• Such changes are called endothermic changes in which energy is absorbed from its surrounding in the form of heat.
• Other examples of endothermic change: Melting of ice, evaporation of water, and photosynthesis reaction.

Thus, the given statement is false.
