उत्तर १
Reactions in which heat is released along with the formation of products are called exothermic chemical reactions.
Example: \[\ce{C(s) + O2(g) -> CO2(g) + Heat}\]
\[\ce{2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(l) + Heat}\]
उत्तर २
A reaction in which heat is released is called an exothermic reaction. Burning of fuel is an example of exothermic reaction. When methane is burned, it gives heat along with carbon dioxide and water.
\[\ce{CH4(g) + 2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + Heat}\]

Two metals X and Y form the salts XSO4 and Y2SO4, respectively. The solution of salt XSO4 is blue in colour whereas that of Y2SO4 is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to XSO4 solution, then a white precipitate Z is formed alongwith a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to Y2SO4 solution, then the same white precipitate Z is formed alongwith colourless common salt solution.
