During an alcoholic fermentation, yeast converts glucose ( C 6 H 12 O 6 ) into ethanol ( CH 3 CH 2 OH ) and carbon dioxide. C 6 H 12 O 6 (aq) → 2 CH 3 CH 2 OH (aq) + 2 CO 2 (g) Is the process exothermic or endothermic?

During an alcoholic fermentation, yeast converts glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) into ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) and carbon dioxide.
C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) → 2 CH₃CH₂OH(aq) + 2 CO₂(g)
Is the process exothermic or endothermic?

The process is exothermic.

The process is endothermic.
