- (T, F) While it is true that a negative heat of formation is associated with an
exothermic reaction, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that the total
energy of the universe is constant and cannot be easily created nor destroyed.
It is a convention of chemistry that energy given off from a combination
reaction is given a negative value.
