Which of the following processes is exothermic? Group of answer choices Allowing meat to thaw after taking it out of the freezer Popsicle melting on a warm summer day Boiling water in a beaker to convert it to steam Rolling a ball up a hill Reacting hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water

Reacting hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water

Explanation:

Exothermic means that energy is released into the environment, so let's go through the process of elimination.

Allowing meat to thaw after taking it out of the freezer - NO it is endothermic, and takes energy/heat from the environment to thaw.

Popsicle melting on a warm summer day - NO also endothermic, the opposite of exothermic.

Boiling water in a beaker to convert it to steam - NO because we need to add heat, so it doesn't release any energy.

Rolling a ball up a hill - NO, for a ball to roll up a hill, it needs energy from something else, so it's not exothermic.

Reacting hydrogen and oxygen gases to make water - YES this reaction makes new bonds, which releases energy, so this is exothermic.

if you're asking what comes out, it's steam.
