Unit 6.1: Endothermic and Exothermic Processes

Determine if a process is endothermic or exothermic and assign the proper sign to ∆H.

  1. Is melting ice endothermic or exothermic? Explain your reasoning.
  2. A + B → AB ΔH = −50 kJ·molrxn⁻¹
    Is the reaction above endothermic or exothermic. Justify how you know.
