True

False

Answer 1

False. The reaction of an exploding balloon typically involves the rapid release of gas and energy, which is a physical change rather than a chemical reaction, and is often associated with a physical process like the elastic release of energy rather than an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions involve the release of heat due to a chemical change.
