Vaughan · Answer 2

The correct answer is A) an equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings.

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of energy or first law of thermodynamics energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy can only be converted from one form to another one. The amount of energy of the universe is fixed.

If the reaction have to follow the first law of thermodynamics then according to the question the right answer will be equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings to maintain the constant energy level of the universe.
