Answer:
A. endothermic.
A. Yes, absorbed.
Explanation:
Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.
2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = 182 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.
182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:
