The most accurate response to describe how heat is transmitted to the surroundings in this scenario is:

**Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside.**

This statement correctly describes the process of conduction, where heat is transferred from the reacting molecules to the glass of the test tube, and subsequently to the surrounding air.
