The products will have more energy than the reactants.
Energy will be required for the reaction to happen at room temperature.
Energy will not be required for the reaction to happen at room temperature.
The products will have less energy than the reactants.

Answer 1

The statement that is always true for exothermic reactions is:

**The products will have less energy than the reactants.**

In an exothermic reaction, energy is released to the surroundings as the reaction occurs, resulting in the products having lower energy compared to the reactants.
