Answer the following question: Q: In what type of process does heat flow into its surroundings and cause an increase in kinetic energy? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: In general, the process of interest is taking place in the system, and there are no changes in the composition of the surroundings. However, the temperature of the surroundings does generally change. Entropy changes in the surroundings are determined primarily by the flow of heat into or out of the system. In an exothermic process, heat flows into the surroundings, increasing the kinetic energy of the nearby particles. For an exothermic reaction, S surr is positive. Conversely, heat flows from the surroundings into the system during an endothermic process, lowering the kinetic energy available to the surroundings and resulting in a negative value for S surr . Choices: - biochemical process - chemical process - oscillating process - exothermic process A:
Answer:
exothermic process
