Question 6

Chemical reactions may proceed with evolution or absorption of heat. Give an example of each.

Answer

Chemical reaction which proceed with evolution of heat [Exothermic]

  • Nitrogen and hydrogen:
    N2 + 3H2 Δ\xrightleftharpoons{\enspace\Delta\enspace} 2NH3 + ΔT

Chemical reaction which proceed by absorption of heat [Endothermic]

  • Nitrogen and oxygen :
    N2 + O2 Δ\xrightarrow{\enspace\Delta\enspace} 2NO - ΔT
