Controlled explosions take place inside the chamber as gasoline reacts with oxygen. The car's engine transforms chemical potential energy into kinetic energy, or energy of motion. Which of the following statements is true about the chemical reaction? This is an exothermic reaction because energy is absorbed b. This is an endothermic reaction because energy is absorbed This is an endothermic reaction because energy is released This is an exothermic reaction because energy is released

Controlled explosions take place inside the chamber as gasoline reacts with oxygen. The car's engine transforms chemical potential energy into kinetic energy, or energy of motion. Which of the following statements is true about the chemical reaction? This is an exothermic reaction because energy is absorbed b. This is an endothermic reaction because energy is absorbed This is an endothermic reaction because energy is released This is an exothermic reaction because energy is released

Answer 1

This is an exothermic reaction because energy is released

Answer 2

In the context of a car engine, gasoline combustion involves releasing energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy. This release of energy characterizes an exothermic reaction, where energy is released to the surroundings.
