Answer:
Reaction A, B, E and F are exothermic reactions.
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of reactants is more than the energy of the products. In these reactions, energy is released by the system.
The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative.
Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of products is more than the energy of the reactants. In these reactions, energy is absorbed by the system.
The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be positive.
So, from the given option reaction which are exothermic are with negative value that enthalpy of reaction and those are:
1) ,ΔH = -1203 kJ/mol
2),ΔH =-176 kJ/mol
3) ,ΔH = -393.5 kJ/mol
4) ,ΔH =-891 kJ/mol
Answer: 1) endothernic
2) Yes absorbed
Explanation:
Decomposition is a chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products. All decomposition reactions are endothermic reactions as energy is absorbed to break the bonds.
Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be positive.
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.
