QUESTION:
The following two sentences seem to contain a self-contradiction. In an exothermic reaction, the products are at a lower energy level than the reactants. However, if the reactor is not cooled, the products are hotter than the reactants, which means they must be at a higher energy level than the reactants. Identify the logical error in this paragraph.
