Question 26 2 pts

Dissolving antacids in water causes the release of gas and the temperature of the water to drop. This would be an example of an:

Group of answer choices

Endothermic reaction

Exothermic reaction

The right answer to this question is the second option: Exothermic reaction

Explanation:

This can be said because, by knowing that an exothermic reaction will always release energy from the reaction, and that's what is happening here, when you dissolve the antacids in water the temperature starts dropping, and that means that the water is losing energy to the environment because of the reaction.

An endothermic reaction would cause this reaction to absorb energy from the environment, but that's not what happened.

Endothermic Reaction.
