64. In the exothermic reaction the enthalpy of reaction is(AIIMS 2001)always:(a) zero(c) negative(b) positive(d) none of these

Answer»

A system that releasesheatto the surroundings, anexothermic reaction, has a negative ΔH by convention, because theenthalpyof the products is lower than theenthalpyof the reactants of the system. Theenthalpiesof thesereactionsare less than zero, and are thereforeexothermic reactions.
