(Triangle)H > 0 (triangle) H < 0 (triangle) H = 0

Sorry, can't help ):

No anybody else that can?

The reaction releases energy as it takes place. It is exothermic. What is the sign of delta H for an exothermic reaction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Triangle H?

Which of these three choices would you select? (Triangle)H > 0 (triangle) H < 0 (triangle) H = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

H=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ghuczek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be zero. The diagram shows that the products are at a lower enthalpy level than the reactants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So H>0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The change in enthalpy is positive for an endothermic reaction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is H>0 not correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ghuczek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Delta H is positive for endothermic reactions. Delta H is negative for exothermic reactions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which one is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Delta H is negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Standard enthalpy change formation, which is the energy absorbed by the reactants to make the product. However, most of the energy was released by the products as a result, the H<0.

Thanks Hoslos
