Question
When 42 g of C(s) reacts in the presence of excess SO2(g) to produce CS2(l) and CO(g) according to the following chemical equation, is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? 5 C(s) + 2 SO2(g) –> CS2(l) + 4 CO(g) ΔH° = +239.9 kJGroup of answer choicesendothermicexothermic
Solution
The reaction is endothermic. This is because the ΔH° (change in enthalpy) is positive (+239.9 kJ), which indicates that the reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings. In an endothermic reaction, the system gains heat as the surroundings cool down.
