Question

The procedure for Enthalpy of Neutralization implies that the temperature of the reaction mixture will increase. This indicates that the reaction is..

a)Endothermic and heat is transferred to the surroundings

b)Endothermic and heat is absorbed by surroundings

c)Exothermic and heat is absorbed by surroundings

d)Exothermic and heat is transferred to the surroundings

a)Endothermic and heat is transferred to the surroundings

b)Endothermic and heat is absorbed by surroundings

c)Exothermic and heat is absorbed by surroundings

d)Exothermic and heat is transferred to the surroundings

Explanation / Answer

Answer:     d)   Exothermic and heat is transferred to the surroundings

exothermic reaction are defined as heat releasing reactions. Hence heat is transferred from reaction mixture to the surroundings. endothermic reactions are heat absorbing reactions.

enthalpy is denoted by symbol H

for exothermic reactions the sign of enthalpy will be negative i.e., H= -ve

for endothermic reactions the sign of enthalpy will be positive i.e., H= +ve
