Question

What is the change in enthalpy (AH) for the following reaction?

HCO3 + C3H₂O3 + energy
a.
AH is unfavored
Ο b. ΔΗ is favored
-2
C4H₂O5² + H₂O

Answer 1

I think that ΔH (Difference between the energy of the products and that of the reactants) is unfavorable since it would have a negative value, this means that more energy will be required to start the process.
