Question

what is the general equation for an exothermic reaction? a reactants + products → energy b reactants → products + energy c energy → reactants + products d reactants + energy → products e products + energy → reactants

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one that releases energy. In a chemical reaction equation, reactants are on the left - hand side and products are on the right - hand side. Since energy is released (a product of the exothermic reaction), it should be on the right - hand side with the products.

Answer:

B. Reactants → Products + Energy
