The heat of solution of KI is 20.3 kJ/mol.
This means that when one mole of KI dissolves in water the process will be
PLEASE EXPLAIN ANSWER

a. Exothermic, ΔH is positive
b. Exothermic, ΔH is negative
c. Endothermic, ΔH is negative
d. Endothermic, ΔH is positive

Respuesta :

Since the heat of solution of KI is 20.3 kJ/mol, the answer to the question is a. Exothermic, ΔH is positive

There are two types of chemical reactions namely exothermic and endothermic reaction.

  • For exothermic reactions, heat is released. So, ΔH is positive
  • For endothermic reactions, heat is absorbed. So, ΔH is negative

Given the heat of solution of KI as 20.3 kJ/mol.

Since it is positive, the reaction is exothermic and  ΔH is positive

Since the heat of solution of KI is 20.3 kJ/mol, the answer to the question is a. Exothermic, ΔH is positive
