Correct answer:
Exothermic
Explanation:
When the enthalpy of a reaction is negative, it means that heat has been released from the system to the surroundings. This release of energy is referred to as an exothermic reaction.
Endothermic reactions have a net heat flow into the system. Exergonic and endergonic are terms used to describe the change in free energy for a given system.
