Question

The given reaction is an example of _.

Reaction: $\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+2\mathrm{S}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\to \mathrm{\Delta }+{\mathrm{CS}}_2\left(\mathrm{l}\right)$

Answer 1

Exothermic reactions:

• The chemical reaction in which the heat is released is known as an Exothermic reaction.
• Examples are the burning of a candle and the reaction of a strong acid with water.

Endothermic reactions:

• The chemical reaction in which the heat is absorbed is known as an Endothermic reaction.
• Examples are melting ice cubes and melting solid salts.

Given reaction

• The given reaction is as follows:-
• $\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+2\mathrm{S}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\to \mathrm{\Delta }+{\mathrm{CS}}_2\left(\mathrm{l}\right)$
• In this reaction, heat$\left(∆\right)$ is released. So, it is an exothermic reaction.

So, the given reaction is an example of an exothermic reaction.
