Question
If the heat of reaction, that is the enthalpy change ΔH, for a certain process, is +32 kJ, that process Question 3Select one:a.occurs rapidlyb.is exothermicc.is endothermicd.cannot occure.requires a catalyst
Solution
The correct answer is c. is endothermic.
Here's why:
The enthalpy change (ΔH) of a reaction is a measure of the amount of energy absorbed or released by the reaction. If ΔH is positive, it means the reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings. This type of reaction is called endothermic. On the other hand, if ΔH is negative, it means the reaction releases heat to its surroundings, and this type of reaction is called exothermic.
So, in this case, since ΔH is +32 kJ (which is positive), the process is endothermic.
