In order to break water into hydrogen and oxygen, water is heated to more than 500°C. Which kind of reaction is this and why? It is exothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products It is exothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products.
