Exothermic Reaction because the fizzing is CO2 being released as heat (energy).


Is oil an example of an exothermic reaction?

No, oil itself is not an example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat to the surroundings, while oil is a type of liquid formed from various hydrocarbons. Heating oil can lead to combustion, which is an exothermic reaction.
