Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic?

YES!!! DEinitely!!!!! By the simple fact that the car engine becomes hot, when the engine is running (burning petrol). Petrol is a hydrovarbon. When combusted in a car engine, it is a chemical reaction between the hydrocarbon (petrol) and oxygen(air). This chemical reaction is exothermic, ( releases energy/heat). This release of energy is done in a very small space, hence the hot expanding gases push the piston down, and thereby mechanically move the car. The heat energy that you feel is waste energy. However, this 'waste' energy is used to heat the car interior. Here is a chemical word equation hydrocarbon + air =electric spark-> Carbon dioxide + Water. Hope that helps!!!!!
