Question
Distinguish between Endothermic reaction and Exothermic reaction.

Answer

Endothermic reaction:
  • In endothermic reaction heat is absorbed from suroundings.
  • Sum of enthalpies of products is greater than sum of enthalpies of reactants i.e.$\Sigma_P H>\Sigma_R H$ 
  • Heat of reaction, ΔH is positive.
  • Products are less stable than reactants.
  • $\begin{aligned} & C _{( s )}+ O _{2( g )} \rightarrow CO _{2( g )} \\
    & \Delta H =-394 kJ \end{aligned}$
  • This reaction requires supply of thermal energy.
Exothermic reaction:
  • In exothermic reaction heat is given out to surroundings.
  • Sum of enthalpies of products is less than sum of enthalpies of reactants.
    i.e. $\Sigma_P H<\Sigma_R H$
  • Heat of reaction, ΔH is negative.
  • Products are more stable than reactants.
  • $\begin{aligned} & N _{2( g )}+ O _{2( g )} \rightarrow 2 NO \\ & \Delta H =+180 kJ \end{aligned}$
  • This reaction does not require supply of thermal energy.

A mixture of benzene and toluene contains $30\%$ by mass of toluene. At $30{}^\circ C,$ vapour pressure of pure toluene is $36.7\  mm\ Hg$ and that of pure benzene is $118.2\ mm\ Hg.$ Assuming that the two liquids form ideal solutions, calculate the total pressure and partial pressure of each constituent above the solution at $30{}^\circ C.$
