Question

Consider the following reactions. (Note: (s) = solid, (l) = liquid, and (g) = gas.)

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole
21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l)
What type of reaction is represented by the previous two examples?
A: exothermic
B: endothermic

Answer 1

B: endothermic

Hope this helps :)
