Question
The given enthalpy diagram represents which of the following reactions ?
A.
Enthalpy diagram for endothermic reaction
B.
Enthalpy diagram for exothermic reaction
C.
Enthalpy diagram for reversible reaction
D.
Enthalpy diagram for non-spontaneous reaction
Answer :
Enthalpy diagram for exothermic reaction
Solution :
For exothermic reactions, $${H_R} > {H_P},$$ hence $$\Delta H$$ is negative.
