What doyou understand byexothermicreaction andendothermicreaction? Giveone exampleofeach type.

Answer»

Solution :Exothermicreactions . Reactions WHICHARE accompaniedby evolution ofheatare calledexothermic reactions. The quantityof heatproducedis showneitheralongwith theproducts WITHA plussignor intermsof `DeltaH`with anegativesign. forexample.
`C ( s)+ O_(2)( g) toCO_(2)( g) +393. 5 kJ`
` H_(2) (g) + (1)/(2) O_(2) (g)toH_(2) O(l) , Delta H=-285.8 kJ MOL^(-1)`
Endothermicreactions. Reactions whichproceed withabsorption ofheatare calledendothermicreactions . the quantityof heatabsorbed is shown eitheralong withthe PRODUCTS witha negativesign orintermsof `DeltaH`with apositivesign. Forexample
` C ( s)+ H_(2) O( g) toCO (g)+ H_(2)( g) -131 .4 kJ`
`N_(2)( g) +3 H_(2)( g) to2 NH_(3)( g) Delta H=- 92 kJ mol^(-1)`
