MCQ
Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic can be indicated by :
  • Enthalpy change.
  • B
    Entropy change.
  • C
    Activation energy.
  • D
    Specific heat capacity.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Enthalpy change.
Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic can be indicated by enthalpy change.
Enthalpy change is the difference in the enthalpy of products and the enthalpy of reactants.
A positive value of enthalpy change indicates endothermic reaction as the enthalpy of products is more than the enthalpy of reactants.
A negative value of enthalpy change indicates exothermic reaction as the enthalpy of products is less than the enthalpy of reactants.
