Question 7 • Chemistry

Which statement is true if the Δ⁢H_rxn of a reaction is positive?

Answer
A
There is more product than reactant.
B
The reaction is endothermic.
C
There is more reactant than product.
D
The reaction is exothermic.

Explanation

A positive ΔH_rxn means the reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings. A reaction that absorbs heat is endothermic, so the true statement is “The reaction is endothermic.” The sign of ΔH alone does not tell you whether there is more reactant or product.
