Answer:
The reaction is exothermic.
Explanation:
To find the mass you need to find the weight of a mol of the molecules by adding up the atomic mass.
N = 14.007 g/mol
H = 1.008 g/mol
S = 32.065 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol
2(14.007) + 8(1.008) + 32.065 + 4(16) = 132.143 g/mol
Now you know how much an entire mol weight you multiply it by how much you actually have
0.00456 * 132.143 = 0.603 g
<span>If energy is released, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. Since heat is being absorbed in this reaction (to break down H2O into H2 and O), the reaction is endothermic.</span>
If it is blue litmus paper, it will remain blue. If it is red litmus paper, it will remain red. Water is neither an acid nor a base so it will not change the litmus paper.
