Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An exothermic ΔH indicates that heat is released in the process. This means the final energy state of the solution () is lower than the initial energy state (_{). In option C, the final state has a lower energy (11ea6c49_d53c_699c_9875_632e2e4d0ba0_TB6106_11) compared to the initial state (11ea6c49_d53c_699d_9875_ddeecb58729e_TB6106_11), indicating a release of heat and an exothermic ΔH. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.}
