Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that proceed with the release of heat energy. I contrast, endothermic reactions involve absorption of heat.
The enthalpy change (ΔH) for exothermic reactions is negative while that of endothermic reactions is positive.
In the given examples, reactions that show a negative ΔH are:
NH3 + HCl ------- NH4Cl ΔH = -176 KJ/mol
2Mg + O2 -------- 2MgO ΔH = -1203 kj/mol
C + O2 ---- CO2 ΔH = -393.5 kj/mol
CH4 + 2O2 ----------------- CO2 + 2H2O ΔH = -891 kj/mol
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions that evolves or releases heat energy. On the other hand, endothermic reactions are those in which heat energy is involved.
The equations given in the questions are endothermic or exothermic. The value of [tex]\Delta[/tex]H if is positive, then the equation will be endothermic. If the value of [tex]\Delta[/tex]H is negative then it will be an exothermic reactions.
The exothermic equations are:
Exothermic:
- [tex]\text {NH}_{3} + \text {HCl} \rightarrow \; {\text {NH}_{4}\text{Cl}\; \Delta \text H = -176 \text{KJ/mol}[/tex]
- [tex]2\text{Mg + O}_{2}\rightarrow\; 2\text{MgO}\;\Delta\textH = -1203 \;\text{\;kj/mol}[/tex]
- [tex]\text {C+O}_{2}\rightarrow\; \text{CO}_{2}\;\Delta \text H = -393.5\text{kj/mol}[/tex]
- [tex]\text {CH}_{4} + \text {2 O}_{2} \rightarrow \; {\text {CO}_{2}+\text{2 H}_{2}\text {O}\; \Delta \text H = -891 \text{KJ/mol}[/tex]
Therefore, the exothermic equations can be identified by the negative enthalpy change in the reaction.
